I'm asking because it sounds as if some of you think that OBL's death = the end of any terrorist threat.

Putting aside the merits of TSA screening, nothing has changed since Sunday afternoon. Whatever threat there was is still there. The idea that OBL's death will chance anything regarding airline security - or the threat of terrorism in general - is laughable.

This isn't like Hitler committing suicide and then Germany surrenders a week later. The "war on terror" (and I put that in quotes because I know someone will chime in and say it's not a real war, blah blah blah, fine whatever its ) will continue for years to come.

I'm as happy as anyone that the SOB got a bullet through the skull. But I'm under no illusion that this will chance my life in any way.
