I was saddened to hear of the bombings on the London transport system. Here is me riding the tube back in April. No doubt those saucy Brits will bounce right back. I don't think that the "terror" should really be incapacitating. To put it in perspective: there averaged about 9 fatalities of all types on Britan's roads per day in 2001. The likelihood of being caught in a terrorist attack is slim, lower than about any other way to go. Still, it causes a sensation, and brings the fear home and to heart--an attack on America could be inevitable. In the future, when trains and buses have airline-esque security, we all may look back at these days with sad wonder. We want security, but do we want Orwellian Big Brother? Discuss amongst yourselves...
