    I'm not sure about that. Lighting off bombs at a handful of large malls around the country would be pretty devastating as well.

    If it was in the arrivals hall, does that mean it was past security? It would seem that way.

    Absolutely. Hitting multiple large malls would be devastating to retail.

    But, not all targets are equal. Airports and large malls is a lot different than a grocery store or a college.

    Especially if several were in flyover country. They start bombing malls in Omaha or St. Louis and people will freak out.

    It was in the area outside baggage claim where folks meet family, or their drivers. The bomber walked in from outside.

    "The bomber apparently entered the international arrivals terminal from outside, a witness said, advancing to the blue tape where taxi drivers and relatives wait to greet arriving passengers and setting off the explosion at 4:32 p.m. local time. The area is open to the general public, said Yelena Galanova, an airport spokesman, according to the Interfax news service. "

    Sounds like the latest Tom Clancy novel- Dead or Alive. A series of small but newsworthy attacks around the world to deflect attention from bigger one.

    Thanks for clearing that up. Still not good.

    94 % of the Chechens are Sunni Muslim.


    But the other 6 percent could be members of the Tea Party.

    I think this is a good time to mention Timothy Mcveigh

    Makes no fucking sense to mention anybody; no indication of responsibility yet.

    Do you know anyone else who has a beef with Russia besides the Chechyans?

    Too bad some people couldn't extend the same courtesy when Jared Loughner was all but branded the incoming Tea Party president.

    Because like-minded McVeigh clones have been setting off bombs in the U.S. every month since 1995.

    Oh, right. They aren't.
