The sinestrosphere reacted with chuckles over this event, as the right covered it (taking information directly from CNN, which in turn came directly from a Logan Airport spokesman), once again playing the "We're Too Brave To Be Afraid of Terrorism" card, along with the "Look at the Righties Playing This Up" card, along with the "Bush Is Just Fear-Mongering" card.

But, see, they also completely embargoed the SkyBomb story, except to "Question the Timing" and postulate it was a Bush-Blair conspiracy.

So if they're "unafraid" of terrorism, it's for a good reason: They don't seem to believe in it at all, and more or less say so.

Gleen, you'll not be surprised to note, poo-poohs all this concern over terrorism as if it's a joke, before covering his ass with a statement along the lines of "But of course we should take terrorism seriously."

Seriously?

Like when a disturbed woman mutters incoherently about Al Qaeda and is discovered to have prohibited items upon a plane, including an as of yet unidentified "gelatinous substance" in her handbag? (Gleen, by the way, giggles over reports it was "vaseline," and yet doesn't seem aware that it's been later reported there was a vaseline-like substance in her handbag.)

Or like the left's complete disinterest in the extremely extensive and serious SkyBomb terror investigation going on right now?

Are they unafriad? Or simply unconnected with reality?
