Terrorists should be ashamed of themselves.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has had people pissing themselves when they're supposed to be shitting themselves.

Umar has also earned himself the unfortunate moniker of 'the underpants bomber'. Setting fire to your cock is more weird than scary. Of course had i been on flight 253 myself i would have been howling like a monkey but that's not the point. Old fashioned terrorists tried to put up the body count as much as possible (Carlos the Jackal, the Unabomber, George W etc) Al-Quaeda seem to be trying to drown us in our own officious bureaucracy as passengers are being subjected to even more time consuming and intrusive security checks. The authorities themselves have admitted that these are largely ineffective in detecting modern explosives in small quantities. So what is the point? I think the best way to combat terrorists is by employing Air Marshalls. They don't have to have guns. A gun on a plane is just a stupid idea, I've seen Goldfinger. No i think just a double hard bastard with a cricket bat and an attitude would suffice. More of a mental bus conductor type figure, if anyone steps out of line just bonk them on the head and keep them sedated until you land.

The terrorists have also shot themselves in the foot in another way. Increased security measure make it harder for people from these 'terrorist watch list' countries to move about and according to some sources a large proportion of income for terrorist groups comes from drug smuggling, an activity which involves hiding things on planes. Increased security must be making it harder to debase the west in a much more effective way, by flooding it with cheap impure heroin.

Well done Umar all you did was drive up the cost of street drugs and burn your cock.
