Do business via teleconference. Forget about tourism in the US and go tour friendlier places Students in the US flock to Australia anb England Do business with Europeans In the end the US will be chosen only based on price, USD down means cheap place Or inly desperate people would continue going there They are playing the fear card too much. The reason being the populace is not falling for the 'threat', so they had to step up the ante. They want to say the 'devil is out there'. Not within. Anyway one of those crazy guys would choose a fully fueled plane taking off FROM an US airport rather than an plane with empty fuel tanks coming from elsewhere. Hopefully, November comes and vote this administration -that hijacked the US we knew- out of office. They are doing too much damage to the US!!!

Talk about the cost of the home land security in the US, Jay, just the port of WI side at the Lake Superior have spent $0.85 million in Federal grant for enhanced safety measures during Xmas and New year, and at least the same as much on MN side. And multiply that amount by a factor of 10 for most of those costal states on both east and west coast, it will add up to a billion or two. And these money spent are totally none-productive, and suck the blood out of this ailing US economy. With no end seen in this anti-terrorist activities (it would NOT be over even if the US catches B.L), I wonder how many years the US economy can sustain this kind of expense!
