TERRORIST ATTACK ON AIRPORT IN HAWAII

Terror.

I'm canadian, so you'll have to excuse my... ignorance? What exactly
constitutes an act of terror? Does CNN have to report it as having
been the
work of known terrorists before it's considered terrorism?
Does it have to be political? The nature of the word leads me to
believe
that any action that is intended to produce 'terror' is an act of
terorrism.

Recent examples of acts meant to insight terror include:

The USA's "Shock and Awe" campaign and ensueing and continuing armed
conflict.

Todd Bertuzzi's Sucker Punch on Steve Moore.

My Ex-Girlfriend threatening to go on an unchecked spending orgy until
my
credit is maxed out and worthless.

I'd appreciate some American insight on this issue... according to
popular
media, we're living in an era where terrorism runs rampid. So much so
that
everyone's ready to sign their freedom away to make sure they don't
get
terrorized. Canada has been mentioned repeatedly as the terrorist
entry
point to the US and a possible terrorist target. It would be nice to
know
what to watch for.

You may pay cash for a BigBrother cards, but I have to wonder what
data the system keeps on hand about its use, ergo your activities.
So when the cop stops you and demands itc...what does it say? Or
the market I see: divorce lawyers.

All the times/dates/stops you have made? Just the last 20?

John Poindexter must be proud.

And while we can still use farecards today, it sounds like it
will not be for long. Bus transfers are vanishing soon.

As for the parking lots, it sounds to me like Metro's sudden about
face really is to reduce their embarrasment. There are many parking
lots that handle cash; it's not exactly rocket science to keep the
shinkage rate down to a reasonable percentage.

Note there is another "minor" change they've announced. The
"free" hours for parking have been vastly reduced.

I've never had a SmarTrip card. But I doubt it contains any
information a regular farecard doesn't. The only reason I haven't
gotten one is because I don't want to spend an extra five dollars.
And because I haven't yet used up the several $44 farecards I bought
for $40 each on the last day before they eliminated the 10% bonus.

I might eventually buy one, as I'm tired of farecards being ruined by
the rain, and of having to go to Metro Center once a year or so to
trade in all my ruined farecards and farecards with a few cents left
on them, while putting up with the lecture about what a big one-time
favor they're doing me by letting me do this.

And while we can still use farecards today, it sounds like it will
