The Libyan terrorists who blew that jet up over Lockerbie, Scotland effectively ruined the illusion of safe air travel for everyone pretty much forever. Until this episode, the occasional high-jacking of jets to illuminate political points-of- view usually ended in some sort of conclusion to those involved (good or bad) but on terra firma. This event upped the ante to a new and much more macabre spin. A terrifying upgrade of terror tactics utilized throughout mankind’s history to illuminate a political point of view.
