BUT AMERICANS ARE HANDING THE TERRORISTS VICTORIES!
Sad, but true. The terrorists know full well that they have managed to change life in America.
More brave and study Americans are taking anti-anxiety drugs. “Oh my God! There’s terrorists out there! Write me a prescription, Doctor!”
The tales of panic are widespread, and increasing:
A man on the West Coast receives some chocolates. He panics and calls the police, convinced they contain anthrax. Buildings are evacuated --- people inconvenienced -- the frightened man turns out to be a loony.
A man on an airplane in California opens a greeting card … confetti spills out. Another passenger tells a crewmember that the man had released a powdery substance into the ventilation system. Eighty passengers are held on the jet for three hours … the man who opened the greeting card is stripped, hosed down and put into a hazmat suit.
Two Orthodox Jews stand in the back of an airliner on the way to Newark from Atlanta and pray. Some passenger hears the “foreign tongue” and panics. The plane lands in Charlotte and the two Jewish passengers are forced to take a later flight. Authorities on the ground had been told that passengers were trying to break into the cockpit.
A Charlotte to Denver flight is diverted because a flight attendant finds talcum powder in a restroom.
Seats are removed from several airliners after employees report white powder on the seats. It turns out the be the powder that is put on the seats to prevent sticking.
A Sears store near Atlanta is evacuated for three hours … powder on a countertop. You could put anthrax powder on a countertop and leave it there all day and not one person would get the disease.
There are also those who are using the terrorist scare to accomplish other goals. Sarah Brady is trying to further her gun confiscation desires by invoking the fear of terrorism. There have already been some arrests of those who decided to try get rich schemes by falsely claiming that relatives were in the World Trade Towers when they collapsed.
