Re: Bin Laden is dead!

I just saw a report. Said his body was buried out at sea?

Really?

IAW (In accordance with) Islamic law,so I've read...

See the thing is I *know* there will be heightened security everywhere, yet I'm just growing more and more fearful of travelling. I hope its just a passing feeling.

Its understandable. Where are you going? Anyway you could postpone it till you feel better about it?

So they done it to respect his Islamic rights to be buried out at sea?

I'm going to Atlanta and then down to South Carolina for Memorial day weekend with my girlfriend. No chance I cancel, just gonna suck it up. The feeling will probably be gone by then anyway. I had a flight home one time when something happened (don't recall what exactly it was) and that's when they made the whole 'no liquid' rules at the airport. The flight was the next day

Why the abbreviation before spelling it out?

Gotcha. Just remember, thousands and thousands of flights take off and land safely every day. Safest way to travel.

Yeah, it really is amazing how safe it is when everything is taken into consideration.

I guess I just feel as though this may spark a retaliation or something. Just have a bad feeling

I understand. I was talking to my sister earlier. She lives in Mesa AZ, and is flying back here in a couple weeks. She is worried too. But Im sure everyone will be ok.

It's certainly understandable to be concerned, but to be honest, most terrorist threats revolve around an element of surprise or disruption...immediate retaliation normally isn't their MO. They kind of go into things a lot colder than us...they expect such losses.

If anyone is at any increased risk it would most likely be Americans traveling abroad, particularly in higher risk countries (though, in general, there is a higher risk there anyway). People on U.S. land or in U.S. airspace should be relatively safe (as safe as any other time, at least).

Yeah, like I said earlier, I know these things - but still have a bad feeling. Its like when you hear something but you don't really realize what you heard

The military in me came out.....and in case someone didn't know what IAW meant......

For those who fear flying, I wouldn't. Heck, I flew from Vegas to Cleveland the first day they reopened flight travel a few days after 9/11.

Americans have this "you're not gonna pull this BS on us again!" attitude....think about how many attacks were thwarted thanks to us citizens acting. Someone acts suspicious on a plane nowadays, they're likely to be tackled and held til landing, unlike before when some would just ignore the person.

What a good/strange day. It's a great day to be an American.


Do you really care where I sent this from?
