Shut-Out Eleven Straight Years

126 words.

Reading about terrorist tactics on the Counterterrorism Blog is amusing sometimes. According to an article by Evan Kohlmann, terrorists have to travel to distant camps to “train” for mixing and sneaking liquid explosives onto airplanes, and they’ve been working on this plan since 1995. I mean, come on. It’s not rocket science. (Well, I guess it kind of is.) Don’t these people have Wikipedia? And how incompetent do you have to be to fail to cause any terror with liquid explosions for eleven straight years? Personally, I get annoyed if I can’t fix a problem after about 5 minutes. At what point does a terrorist go back to the drawing board for a new plan? (Yes, I enjoy taunting terrorists. It’s like taunting campers in Quake.)
