Operation Neptune Spear aka "Mission Kill Bin Laden"?

| 2010/1/4-19 [Politics/Domestic/911] UID:53611 Activity:moderate | 1/4 Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

as terrorists, and all worried about a police state coming for the
federation. Funny timing, no?
\_ At that point in time there was a bit of sympathy people were
starting to extend to "freedom fighters"; vis a vis all the
popular support many pro-palestine movements were going on -

I have never been to Paris. What should I do with my time? The
Orsay Museum is open until 10pm Thursdays and I will be there on
a Thursday, so that is one option. I heard a Seine cruise is nice.
Any other ideas?

\_ McD's usually seems cool with it. Homeless winos do it all the time.
\_ Most restaurants that serve wine will let you with a corkage fee.

Vietnamese food'. Has it really gotten that bad or does she have
