Blowing up people or spending ages training people to fly planes then hijacking them is effective, and does make people worry, but its not perhaps the best use of terrorist resources. If they want to spread terror, there are probably easier ways. Look for these new scary techniques for the second decade of the 21st century:
A guy with an angle-grinder who cuts a chunk out of the track on a railway line causing a train to derail. Probably just before a bridge for maximum effect. Also, cutting chunks out of the supporting structures of a bridge may be a possibility.
A couple of guys with a big bag of bricks standing on a bridge over a highway, and chucking them over the edge into oncoming traffic during heavy but fast moving traffic.
A dude with an angle grinder chopping up the middle section of some country bridge in the night so that cars in the morning just fall down whatever ravine is below.
Getting 10 guys with death wishes to buy sniper/hunting rifles and shooting random people before a big suicide-showdown with the police.
Cheap Iraq/Afghanistan style IEDs anywhere and everywhere.
Hijacking of (truck) oil tankers, adding a couple of explosives then driving them into Federal buildings.
And so on.
If there are terrorists out there, why don't they do this stuff? It'd be easy, cost fewer of their lives, and be so hard to stop that it really WOULD spread terror. If terror spreading is their goal. Which, by being terrorists, it would be, this is the stuff that would best achieve their goal.
Why don't they?? It'd cripple America or Britain or Wherever in days. |

Actually its probably already going on, but the setting of fires in dry seasons to destroy homes and cost millions in repairs would probably be just as easy as any of the others.
I have wondered if the fires that have been lit in the states and australia and that they know were started by arsonists were actually started by terrorists or thier supporters, but as there is no mention of it, I guess either no one has considered it or it was done by idiots for fun.
Though if I was in AQ, I would be lighting fires in all the places, they say - "dont light fires". |

Al Qaeda is making our infrastructure obsolete and overdue for repairs. I hit a pothole a few months ago that was so big I had to get my car realigned. It had to have been a member of al Qaeda in Appalachiastan who dug that pothole. |

If I was a betting man I would say World Cup 2010 in South Africa. I hope the security is tight for England v USA.
I posted in the off-topics forum that England is considering pulling out of the commonwealth games in India this year because of the Mumbai attacks. |

I sure miss flying during the old days. Heck, you could bring all kinds of liquids with you, but with Al Qaeda messing with our travel plans, things aren't the same. Of course, it's worse if you're flying to the U.S. It's not as bad if you're flying away from the country. For example, who would want to target Korea? Okay, North Korea, maybe, but I doubt it. Also, overseas, some countries are not so strict with bags and how heavy they are.... |
