It CLOSES that risk? How? Once again, do you guys have ANYONE in your organisation that can think like a terrorist?

You guys just don't seem to get it. I'm a senior manager at a global corporation, working with a bunch of other people -- legal, commercial, engineering, marketing etc. Most of what you see in "Dilbert" looks pretty familiar to us -- we have our share of incompetence, hubris, mediocrity and simple pig-headedness. Nontheless, we somehow manage the operational, technical, and legal challenges needed to launch products and services and in so doing, make money for our shareholders.

Now imagine for a moment that the legality/morality of terror is irrelevant, and me and my colleagues are given a new assignment -- find a way to sow as much terror and destruction throughout the world as possible. We have the same budgets, the same skills, the same resources as at present.

Do you have ANY idea how much EASIER it would be to launch two terror attacks/month, each killing a minimum of 100 people, every month for the next 12 months, then it would be to continue doing our current jobs? Running your typical McDonalds -- hiring workers, managing workers, buying supplies, keeping the place cleaned, keeping the place secure, maintaining the equipment, dealing with the health authorities, etc., ALL of that is lot more complex than running a terror organisation. All this TSA nonsense doesn't make any real difference. People standing in a ticket queue at an airport is only one of dozens of potential targets. I could think up two dozen more while I take my shower tomorrow morning. 99% of us have jobs that are more challenging than that of your typical "international terrorist." Only an idiot would find such work difficult, and only a real idiot would think anything the TSA has done (shampoo war? shoe removal? those are a couple of things that might have caused terrorists concern -- for about 10 minutes) has done anything to make it any more challenging.
