My mother works in Dublin Airport. I have friends who work there, and other friends whose mothers are airline stewards. And so I'm sitting here worrying.
But damn, you have to admire the Brits for being on top of things.

The Brits know how to cope with home-grown terror networks. They've only been doing it for the last couple of hundred years, after all.
I never thought I could actually be grateful for that history of Anglo-Irish conflict, and the Northern shit. But lately I'm starting to think that it's a good thing the British have practice - and practice at being successful - in this.
Because they're about the only ones who have.
