The whole mideast is very much in our faces all the time now. Back in the good old days they got an occasional article in the middle of the newspaper. Ideally thats where they should be. If things keep escalating like this, with the constant cloud of terrorism, and the reactive anti-terrorism measures called for with each event, who knows what the last straw will be.

Imagine, you used to be able to go to a baseball game without a stranger poking through your bags and the possibility of being patted down like some criminal. The big danger is that the next generation of Americans won't remember, or won't care.
