It's now been widely-reported that some of the Sept. 11 hijackers may have used Mace or some other chemical to help takeover at least one of the hijacked planes. But what hasn't gotten a heck of a lot of press is this final paragraph: Last week, a German investigator testified that the business card of […]
There's an excellent article in today's Wall Street Journal by Brendan Minter on a link between fighting terrorism and men of faith.
That's what Yasser Arafat's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade discovered earlier this week. Apparently some intern in the Brigades' office was working hard, trying to make a good impression on his bosses.

If you'll recall, in "Back to the Future," Doc Emmit Brown got the plutonium needed to fuel his time machine by agreeing to construct a nuclear bomb for some terrorists.

The LordMage reports on his "Adventures with Airport Security." It's funny -- because it happened to him. If it happened to me, I suspect I'd be exasperated or ticked off too. He also has some career options for Secretary of Transportation Norm Mineta.
