Brits Foil Terror Plan While "World Trade Center" Opens in Theatres
People around the world awoke to discover news that Britain had foiled a terror plot by a couple dozen terrorists involving ten U.S. bound planes.
Yesterday, the “World Trade Center” opened in theaters yesterday August 9th. This Oliver Stone film starring Nicolas Cage has been controversial and has met with critical accolades.
The time frame shared that they planned on having a dry run within a couple days, makes one think the practice run was scheduled for August 11th, one month prior to the 5-year anniversary of 9\11.
Although not quite according to their plan, the terrorists have achieved one of their goals, terror. In the name of safety and security, patience by everyone is necessary as the terror alert has risen to its highest level since 9\11.
While terrorists plans have been disrupted, they have achieved disruption. Airline travelers are adjusting with most liquids banned and carry-ons being restricted to clear plastic bags carrying necessities such as wallets, identification, tickets, baby food and medicines, and 2-3 hours of allowance (3-4 hours for international travel) for security before takeoff.
The reality of the matter is, that just as a home security system will thwart thieves for easier targets, those determined will plan more carefully and work around security.
