Terrorist incidents don't exist.

exactly...they are just a fading memory.

we won't really wake up until the next attack.
the next one will be a real attention getter.


While I understand where you're coming from, it's not necessarily true. It is certainly possible and should be prepared for but there has been much global disruption in Terrorism 101 these past 6 months. To declare without fact that " the next one will be a real attention getter" carries the same significance as a red blue or green terrorism alert imo.

uw,

Great post,

I had actually written about a four page reply to your previous post but deleted it. I wasn't happy with the extent of it's content. But this is a subject that should be fully discussed. This is a nuclear age and the down side needs review as well as the upside.

I'm going to put those four pages back together again and post um here. Most of it is about the commercial risks and the security issues. Those links of yours hit the subject matter head on. Guess your used to that kinda thing -g-
