    I submit to you that the terrorists have already won.

    And I suspect that right now, in a cave somewhere, they are laughing so hard that they are wetting themselves.

    They don't even need to actually plan attacks anymore. All they need to do is make it look like they're planning something and let a few of them get caught. (Surely getting caught and doing a few years in prison is better than a suicide-bombing run, even if you don't get the 72 virgins.)

    The massive disruption to international commerce that will result from this surely will carry a price tag into the billions of dollars. Who is going to fly under these conditions except if absolutely forced into it?
