5. Wow -- from the article:

and two bombs hidden in printers that were shipped as cargo through U.P.S. and Fed-Ex. The printer bombs were intercepted by intelligence agents just hours before they were set to blow pp the planes that carried them.

Yikes! I've been rolling my eyes about all the security crap, but maybe it's more justified than I realized. I honestly thought "they" had pretty much given up attacking us on a large scale. I have no idea why I thought that, though, maybe just my distrust of all the security precautions that have been implemented.

7. Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.

I'm starting to wonder what is so important about Yemen.

8. If this was "at no time a viable plot" and as Brennan said "did not pose a threat to the public,"

are we to believe this was a scary threat or are we being manipulated by a government that seems eager to tell us stories that may or may not be accurate. I can feel the arrows coming, but it's hard not to be suspicious - will this just be another reason to spy even more in the name of "security," is it a political move to boost counterrorism budgets, is it real?
