It's not at all helpful for me to know that if a band of terrorists plans on hijacking a plane and crashing it into a building somewhere, they'd better not plan on using plastic knives from the McDonald's in the airport to do it.

I can't really take the credit for the above sentiment, it was my wife who pointed this out.

She also pointed out how completely ridiculous the NFL is. All this time, I thought they didn't want to have professional sporting events because of a threat to public safety, and then I hear these football players talking about how they just don't think they can bring themselves to get their heads in the game. I got news for you, most of the rest of the country, 14th street and below excepted, are working this week. We don't get to take a day off because we feel bad. It was pretty damn hard for us to put our head in the game, and we don't get paid millions of dollars to play a football game once a week.

Oh yeah, Boston.com kicks ass. They had, in my experience, the most accessible, up to date, and relevant information of any news web site I've been to during this whole mess.

Oh, another oh yeah. I have flown a lot. And I mean a lot. I'm still have silver medallion status on two airlines from last year. So when I get around to it, perhaps this weekend, I'll blog about the whole hijacking thing.

You also might be interested in the fact that I'll be driving to Manhattan in a few weeks for Internet World, not flying.
