I'm flying transpac on UA in about 14 hours from when I type this, and then transtlantic in 2 days (to LHR). While Ozstamps aserts that flying transatlantic is no worries, I actually am more aware than ever that flying specially into the UK from the US, both "allies" in the war ahead, will be likely terrorist targets. Added to that, a US major carrier must look tempting.

Having said THAT, I still think the chances are pretty low, and I'm happy to fly, but also wary. I guess I feel it is down to Fate now. As someone else said.. it could strike anywhere.. and I reckon if my time is up then my time is up.. Plus I also don't want to let fear rule my life and NOT do the things I have planned to do, paid to do and darn it WANT to do.

So I'm flying!
