On the terror thing
Aug. 10th, 2006 06:09 pmOne: I'm glad it didn't happen.
Two: Does anybody else in the United States remember the other three hundred and seventy-eight times the Terror Alert got jacked up to red? Wasn't so long ago that it was happening pretty much every third day or so. (Though shutting down Heathrow may prove a better indicator of the seriousness of this thing than anything coming out of the Ministry of Homeland Security.)
Three: I hope the panic-reaction carryon restrictions don't spread to the Athens airport and remain in force until the end of September. Because me, trusting my laptop and other electronic sundries to the baggage handlers here? Not. Happening.
In any event, going to leave an extra hour to get to Piraeus to catch the boat tomorrow. If I don't need it, I'll use the time to scarf down a souvlaki.
