You've missed his point slightly. It is not that they are literally laughing..
But the point was - terrorists aim to provoke fear and discord; blowing up a passenger aircraft is pretty terrifying, but causing anger, fear frustration and discord on an international scale can be just as good. And all they have to do is get a bomb (even a useless, utterly ineffective one) onto a plane every few months.
Bureaucracy does the rest :)
- rdtsc 16y agoIn some places an evil bureaucracy won't be above using its intelligence services for a couple of "false flag" ops. They'll have them plant a bomb or two every 5-6 months. You know, just so to keep a healthy dose of fear running through everyone's veins.

- tome 16y agoI disagree. I'd rather see one million people inconvenienced by taking off their shoes than see one person killed by a bomb. I think the terrorists are the other way around.
