6. Probably one passenger saying to another

"I saw such and such movie last weekend, what a bomb."

There will be no discussion of movies, books or plays on any airline from this day forward.

11. Crappy News Network and their Breaking Banner

Still does not have anything on this story.
Evidently Karl Rove has not told them to report it yet. Or maybe it is a real threat this time.

15. WTF, why would someone "bomb" a 50 pass. jet?

This is bogus shit, no doubt.

22. Could be a Freaker or an L-Dotter

I'm not typically a cynical person (OK, I am, but that's beside the point), but I think we need to be very observant and diligent from now until the election. The wing-nuts have polarized this nation and our politics to the point that some on the right would do anything to win. If they feel that pushing the terrorist threat level to "Code RED" will help God's appointed leaders stay in power, it could get "ugly".

Remember, Timothy McVeigh was a "white, male wingnut"-with a copy of Rush Limbaugh's book on the front seat of his car. Some on the right are certifiably insane. Best to keep our heads on a swivel.
