My guess is that people will again adapt and that in a few months it will again drop to "reasonable" levels, maybe not 15 minutes again, but possibly 30 minutes.
Perfect example to why this reaction from the idiots in TSA and such is a total waste of time. The terrorists didnt bother with anything after that Tuesday morning. They waited. Until that 6 months of hell for travelers who didnt do anything and werent in any extra danger had passed and then we relaxed to a more normal level. Well here they come again. They got caught (staged to more like it. Definition of terror isnt blowing things up. Its blowing up only enough to make them think you'll do it every time you threaten to. Makes the threats as effective) and now we're fine for some time. They'll adapt to another method.
The terrorists are MUCH smarter than GWB and the rest of the fools saying this is "for safety"
