The shoe bomber was close enough to 9/11 that people were expecting something else to happen. Eight years later without another plane related incident and people were not expecting it as much.<br /><br />The other reason may be location. Attempting to blow up a plane over Detroit feels a lot closer to home than doing so over the Atlantic.<br /><br />I'm not saying these are good reasons to differentiate, just trying to explain the reaction.Ignorance is Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351664545145783244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-52901114352019363372010-01-07T14:53:59.344-06:002010-01-07T14:53:59.344-06:00By the way, the Newark lovebirds weren't terro...By the way, the Newark lovebirds weren't terrorists; they were frequent flyers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-52766767747306811712010-01-07T14:51:04.633-06:002010-01-07T14:51:04.633-06:00Put Muslims on Muslims-only flights.
