At first they said it may have been an accident, but now the news dudes are saying it's a terrorist attack.

Wow! Like, have the terrorists followed the Brits home, even though we are still fighting a bunch of dead enders in Iraq?

Just thinking out loud here....

Why would "terrorists" attack Scotland?

I know the London thing just happened...but...are we categorizing every act of violence as "terrorism"?


Not to be doofy about it....but....

Well, when you watched the live feed interviews with people who watched the wrestling down of the suspects as they tried to torch themselves and throw more gasoline around, the interviewees all said they were chanting stuff about Allah aloud as the suspects were fighting being captured...


I guess we can call it a violent religious incident... :shrug:

Not to mention that car bomb attacks on airports typically fall under the "terrorism" umbrella.

I'm putting my daughter on a flight to Heathrow next Saturday. Should I be concerned?

No, just take the usual precautions for traveling overseas. Go to the State Dept travel Website: http://travel.state.gov Also, register your daughter’s itinerary with the State Dept so the US Embassy will be aware that she’s staying in the area. https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/

Concerned about the wait? Yes. Concerned about terrorists? No more than normal. These guys were complete incompetants.
