I don't understand the fascination with aircraft. There are much softer targets out there with better payoffs for them. I am amazed none of them have been hit.

Fascination with delivery of an attack from overseas, the fear of flying factor, etc. Fear is key to the publicity locker. The point made about these people sticking with a target until they get it is worth noting. But, if this Godless creep had been successful in bringing down the aircraft, how long would it have taken NTSB to derive that it was brought down by a clown setting fire to his leg (or his whatever)?
Could it be that the failed attempt wasn't a failure at all? That the purpose was to get a terrorist in the news for arrest, trial, sentencing, etc? Especially with KSM coming up.
We need to look where they ain't, because that's where they could come from next. Increase surveillance at bus terminals, POE's, shipping terminals, homegrown cells, etc.
I guess I'm just suspicious of the obvious, wary of "advertisements".
