air travel

Yesterday my boss called me and asked if I wanted to go to a show in Cleveland with him on the twelfth. He said we'd be flying out the night before, and coming back in the afternoon after the show. It was about half an hour later that I realized that meant we'd be flying on the eleventh. You know, The Eleventh?

So I brought that up to him and he laughed and said, "Oh shit. I'll have to rethink that."

I decided I wasn't worried about flying that evening because security would be tight, and anything bad would be likely to happen earlier in the day. Besides, any terrorist attack would probably not involve airplanes, this time. My boss brought up the fact that security would be pain-in-the-ass tight, and though there would probably not be any "real" terrorist attacks, there would probably be some asshole trying to become famous, and everything would be shut down, and there we'd be.

So the boss is going down on monday, and since I'm on vacation, I won't be going.

You're not going? :(
No way you can even by that alternative plan?

Stay home, I hear it's going to rain buckets in
your state & mine on the eleventh, which would mean
you have to be home to stock your basement with carp,
that's what I'm going to do with my flooded basement,
and I'm going to grow mushrooms too.

=D

I would worry about cancelled flights, yahoos bucking security... What scares me more is that nobody's talking about Friday the 13th... a good day for some sociopathic whackjob in Pakistan (or some other country with marvelously talented but disgruntled codeheads) to launch a big computer virus attack on America...
