    More than 30 dead.

    Amazing this hasn't happened in the US yet.

    Two bombers. Bombs appear to be very potent.

    I think it's harder to recruit suicide bombers here, but 21 is right, a suicide bomber at an airport security checkpoint would be devastating.

    Could happen at any mall, any grocery store, any college. There's no real defense.

    That is the reason, by the way, that you can't refuse to go through one of the full-body scanners once you've been selected, even if you say you won't fly.

    True. But more effective at an airport. If people don't fly, the multiplier effect on the economy is greater than if you bomb a grocery store.

    We can't rush to judgement. They might have been Norweigens
