Guest Post by Karl Denninger
A Turkish official told The Washington Post that the two bombers blew themselves up at the terminal entrance after police shot at them. Another official told Reuters that the bombers detonated their explosives prior to passing through a X-ray security checkpoint.
This of course is something that can happen anywhere and all the TSA “security lines” mean nothing. After all the entire nation is a “grenade and bomb free zone” — right?
In fact the longer and more-congested the lines the worse the impact of such an attack.
By concentrating people into an area for “screening” you have just increased the “attack surface” of a terrorist. I pointed this out years ago in my The Sexual Assault articles, and now we’ve got the terrorists doing exactly that — albeit in another nation.
Anyone who thinks this can’t happen here has rocks in their head. It both can and probably will.
Oh, by the way, anyone care to bet on the religious affiliation of the attackers?
I hate it when I’m right.
