Sure, they did not get to blow up a couple planes, but they did manage to make the TSA impose all kinds of idiotic new rules. This is a victory for them. Let us live normal lives.

Bruce Schneier says it much better over at Wired. I hope this propegates a new meme. Antiterror: the ability for the press and politicians to refuse (not just resist) to make a big deal about any terrorist related events. Bush says, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” I say “Either you are for terror or you are anitterror.”
hahahaha!
