I will within possibility not fly anywhere... 1. the trip is much more entertaining 2. I've never had a fear/phobia of flying but I just dislike it.

I refuse to fly unless absolutely necessary. I'll either drive or take the train.

I mean, what a target for terrorists. We build a train system costing billions of dollars and they can take it out with a small bomb on a bridge/track Hogan's Heroes style... It would be super easy, bomb on track with a proximity sensor on the train.

Jesus tig...Do you have a bomb shelter in your basement for when the Nazi's Attack the US?

Boy, you have to wonder what all of those countries with bullet trains now do. It's a miracle they haven't all been blown to bits.

What if the terrorist take over the train and drive it into the White House?

Hardy, har, har everybody.... I'm just saying that I'm sure that there will be security to get on the bullet train just like there is to get on a plane and btw how "cool" would it be if terrorists could take control and crash a 200 mph train into a busy rail station during peak?

Yea and how many fucking times have commercial planes been flown into Buckingham Palace, the Eiffel Tower, the Vatican, Tokyo Tower, etc? Ten years ago if I would have suggested that someone would fly 747s into the WTC you all would have laughed as well, keep laughing, I don't live in a "danger zone"... My sub-genius ass could easily rig a device to explode when a train passes over it, why not Abdul?

I think Paula is more into the sauce than any kinda bombings, though being off of American Idol could drive her to do desperate things.

Or...they could rig a bomb to a bus, that's set to go off if the bus goes under 50 miles per hour...

If she ever put on a suicide vest, she could kill three hundred people with Valium fragments.
