Poetic justice

[fpb]

According to the latest news, the terrorist that tried to blow up an American plane over Detroit airport only managed to get severe burns to his "inner upper legs" for his pains. If this means that he has deprived himself of the possibility of passing on his genetic material, that really is poetic justice.

"The incident prompted a significant change to airline security. International passengers will not be allowed to move about aircraft during the last hour of a flight, and there will be extra screening of baggage at airports." via the NYT.

After the next terrorist flight, I look forward to the announcement that we shall all be shackled into our seats for the entirety of the journey. First and business class passengers will be provided with urine bags.

I'm definitely not looking forward to my next overseas flight as it is. Not going to the bathroom is one thing, but enduring the last hour of an intercontinental flight without so much as a book or a blanket (they're not letting people use electronics or have things in their lap) is a little too much.
