Kdaffy and Al Kidda hate the British as well as the US. How strong are they these days? Note last Friday in London a crowd of a million people gathered and Kdaffy and Al Kidda put together could not find one suicide bomber to walk into that crowd. How much more of an inviting target will they ever get?

Also note on Saturday a certain Duke William cancelled his honeymoon trip. Not safe for Brits to go to soft targets like beach vacation spots anywhere in the world. What does that tell you? Trivia fact: OBL was in Abbottabad, named after James Abbott, an occupying British Army officer from the colonial days. If I was a Brit I would postpone non essential trips. Going to be a lot of anti Brit feelings from certain folks.

Oh for sure. Creating longer lines pre TDC. However I cannot mention what an inviting target this is, as in another thread someone said every FT poster should be reported to Homeland Security for writing about such easy targets as the bad guys would never figure it out for themselves. Well, bad guys in Scotland and Moscow noticed packed crowd areas outside checkpoint security were easy targets, but shhhhh they must be the only ones so if no one posts it here no other bad guys will ever figure it out.
