Everyone on every flight is equality and morally important, but this looks to be an attach on business, and not people. These professionals onboard these flights represented some of the finest examples of America at work. When I say "But it does make sense", I am saying, “who would you expect to be flying early morning from one world business center to another” ? "Our Business People". I have flown many times to our manufacturing and OEM centers. On many of these flights I would recognize 10 to 20 people I know. At first I thought this was about religion or a political positions. But this looks more like a Super Villain’s Plot in a New Comic Book to Make Money. I think Bin Laden is using this action to make money as a short position. If he took a short position with leverage, his drug dealings would pale as compared to a hedged short position under these conditions. I am seeing this as an attack on Business as much as an attack America. Selling Now, is Selling to Bin Laden. The Dark Side is @ it’s DARKEST. WILL YOU JOIN THEM ? Don’t. Stan

Stan, I live in NJ but i understand that all over the ny metro area, restaurants were packed last night. Psychologically, will folk go into a shell or will they realize how fragile life is as well as cheering up the family and spend aggressively, especially at Christmas? I hope the latter. BTW, my worst childhood fear came true on Tuesday. As a boy of 10, as we hid under our desks in school, I always had nightmares, not that I would die but i would die alone without my family at my side. Now as an adult I dealt with and will have to deal with that fear for the rest of my life. mike
