The media is having a ball with the failed Christmas-day bombing attempt, but the incident is actually making me feel safer.
The 9/11 conspirators were intelligent, competent professionals. If after 9 years, that pathetic nut-job on the Northwest airliner is the best excuse for a terrorist that al-Qaida can come up with, they must really be hurting.
Also, this incident will finally force TSA to upgrade its staff. Instead of employing minimum-wage McDonalds rejects to protect our citizens, it might now start staffing airports with trained professionals as is the policy in other vulnerable countries.
Let me wish you good luck in the new year--you're probably going to need it.

Reember the shoe bomber putting the matches in his shoes? As a reaction to his incompetency we've had to take our shoes off before before boarding. I've always thought it fortunate that he stuck the matches in his shoes rather than say...his butthole. Can you imagine the security checks after that? "Bend over granny, let's see what ya got up in there!"
