In the midst of all the news from NC and the European elections, this one seems to have gotten lost as a major news story. Which is a little worrying. I don't know what it says, but after 11 years, the major world news these days is all 'economy and politics' and very little about the wars that are ongoing.

Which makes this: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/05/08/al-qaeda-cia-bomb.html more than a little worrying. I haven't heard a good CIA news story in years, but this one may be the worst blow to them yet. Also, an equally unfortunate news story on the same CBC site states that this recent bomb threat will not change airport security. Which is basically a nice way of saying: they make bombs we can't identify at the airport so...

This is why I only check the news once a week. Just to make sure the world is still standing.

But Obama supports marriage equality, so that's a plus!

That's true! That was definitely my good news story for yesterday!

That is horrifying. I completely missed it. Those of us that like to fly and travel really do have to just look the other way and get on, don't we? If I think too much about this kind of thing, I will never go anywhere.

And is it just me, or did the one security guy look like a young James Earl Jones? Sorry. That's just where my mind went to avoid the seriousness of it all.

I didn't even notice! :D Not a bad thing at all.

I know. I was horrified to read this. It won't stop me getting on a plane, but it will indeed make me think about the possibilities a great deal more.
