15. I don't know. But it is a hell of a coincidence if not, isn't it?

We have a terrorist attack that kills and injures hundreds. There is a thwarted terrorist attack on a Canada/US train. Mix in grounded AA flights nationwide, a Saudi male who was classified a person of interest, about to be deported - escorted out of the country on security concerns, ricin letters to politicians, and I have to mention, efforts to further restrict our freedoms in the works, being called for.

Seems fair to me to consider all of that - the whole thing, at a distance.

Maybe it is all just a series of unrelated events.

I don't know. But it is a hell of a coincidence, imho, to have two terrorist events in and around the US, back to back. Seems fair to consider they might be related.
