I think that people on both sides of this issue are WAY overreacting. What happened yesterday and will be happening for the next few days and possibly for the next few weeks, will not be the policy forever. This was an immidiate reaction to an immidiate threat, but given time, the powers involved, will get together and figure out a compromise that most liekly will be very acceptable to everybody.
Remember 9/11? there were NO commercial flights for days...... and yet, things returned to normal (although with some PITA restrictions that were not there before).
This will sort itself out too. So just chill out.
