Well, there was an explosion at the Olympics... It may have been a bomb or it may have been a transformer. Expect this to be used as fuel as to why every one in America must be under constant survelance by the Government. The Four Horsemen are now an Olympic Event!
Yeah, it's been a wild week. There was also an airplane hijacking today, which ended peacefully. The hijacker had a laptop wrapped in tinfoil he was claiming was a bomb.* And of course Clinton's first speeches after the TWA crash were "we don't have any evidence of terrorism yet but you'll all have to give up your civil liberties so we can do a better job of protecting you."
---- *Penn Jillette proposed that a good boot-up program for laptops and PDAs is one that displays a big timer counting backwards, for use in airports that want to see that you've got a real laptop.
