You can park at LAX. You simply need a second mortgage to do so.
50% of all terrorists graduated in the bottom half of their class at Terrorism Community College.
and to be honest, they really don't care if you blow up economy parking. those people should be taking the bus.
But this is related to the two powerful car bombs found in separate locations in London. This is obviously a plot to create terror on the anniversary of 7/7. Al Qaida likes to remember anniversaries.

A Whitehall spokesman said the incident was not being treated as a national security threat.
This part's definitely not gonna be reported on Faux News.
If you're a Bush government black ops team trying to foment fake terrorism acts for political gain around the world, you have to find willing dupes you can convince to do something stupid. Nobody who's smart enough to actually be an effective terrorist would bother doing these inane plots. So the crazy and stupid are the only recruits.
Here's what we've been scared by our government for, and wasted billions of dollars on fighting: blowtorches on the Brooklyn Bridge, fantasy assaults on military bases by pizza deliverers, trying to light your shoes on fire in an airplane (with matches!).
These are all too stupid, no way is this part of a supervillain "al Qaeda" mastermind. It's more like something a Rumsfeld would do to achieve their goals. Let's not forget how amateurishly bad the Niger yellowcake forgeries were.
Is this a new era of terrorism?

The two people in the car apparently were.
But I'm assuming the car caught fire (it happens, though rarely), they freaked (who wouldn't?) and the whole thing is a sad incident that, because it happened at an airport, is presumptively an "act of terrorism."
Or it would be if the Bush DOJ was involved. My guess is by tonight or tomorrow it will be reported as an accident, not an assault.

I believe that this incident is the real cause of the collapse of WTC7.
Even if no one is injured and I as misinformed, how does this make it not terrorism? Or something just to shrug about? I'd feel the same way if it weren't jihadis but the IRA or setting fire to an abortion clinic. The intention here was deliberate. The fact that Atrios is quibbling over the size of the explosion or the stupidity of the execution is cynical and sad.

So far, the "intention" is only assumed. Apply Occam's Razor, and the simplest answer is a car caught fire and the occupants panicked.
In law, we call that "innocent until proven guilty." Of course, that was officially suspended in America with the PATRIOT Act (I am not making that up, nor exaggerating), but this happened in Britain, where they still even have habeas corpus.

Wrong movie. Wrong universe, actually.
Four people were today arrested following an apparent attempt to drive a burning car into Glasgow airport.
Witnesses described seeing the vehicle, a green Jeep Cherokee, in flames as it approached the main terminal and one of the men who was inside it on fire.
The airport was closed and passengers cleared amid fears of a deliberate attack.
Roads around the airport were shut off and flights in and out of Glasgow were also suspended until further notice. Glasgow is Scotland's busiest airport.

Tesco faced an unprecedented revolt yesterday over the meagre wages it pays workers in the developing world to supply its supermarkets with everything from cheap clothing to fruit.
Shareholders at the company's annual meeting in London also voiced their anger at a controversial new pay scheme for the chief executive, Sir Terry Leahy, which could see him pocket more than £11m if Tesco's expansion into the US market succeeds. More than one in six shareholders refused to back Sir Terry's new pay scheme, while almost 20% of shareholders refused to reject a resolution calling for Tesco to pay workers in the developing world a "living wage".

True, but the goal is not always loss of life necessarily but to disrupt the routine of a city or nation and to cause panic, and targeting an airport I think would do, i.e., by causing flights to be canceled, etc.
Which is the real reason why talking about "incompetence" is kind of beside the point. The media acts as a force multiplier for terrorism, no matter how forlorn or foolish the attempt might be.
Or, as Mr. Osama bin Laden once said: "All that we have to do is to send two Mujahedin to the farthest point East to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qa'ida in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human economic and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note …"

The terrorists (of whatever stripe) don't have to be capable anymore. The mainstream media will try to amplify any attempt or even non-attempted plan (no matter how implausible) into a huge, scary event.
In other words, CNN/Fox/ABC/etc is doing half the terrorist's job for them.

One day I crashed my car on the way to work, it wasn't a very bad crash, but the car was undriveable. So my boss let me take a company van home for a couple days. That night the wife calls and says her car is dead on the side of the road. I take the company van and try to jump off the battery. The van catches fire and the car is just flat out dead.

Shy he may be, but Gordon Brown is a formidable networker. Among the unlikely alliances he has formed is one with Paul Dacre, editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail and one of Labour's most feared critics.
Mr Brown's allies say that Dacre began the courtship around 2000 after growing disillusioned with the first Blair premiership. At first he was treated warily.
Dacre is said to see the new prime minister as a kindred spirit: hard working, high-minded, scornful of the metropolitan elite and personal celebrity, a leader touched with potential greatness.

A blazing vehicle was driven into the main Glasgow airport terminal today. Two people were arrested and flights halted as all roads around the airport were shut.
Witnesses said two men crashed it into the doors of the main terminal building.
A man with his clothes on fire got out of the vehicle and was restrained by passengers while others put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.
The airport was closed and passengers were cleared from the terminal building amid fears that this was a terrorist attack.
The incident came as police in London continued to search for terrorists who planted two car bombs which failed to detonate in the heart of the capital yesterday.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is to chair a meeting of the Government's Cobra emergency contingencies committee this evening to discuss the incident, said Downing Street

A few National Guardsmen wandered by, one with a rifle slung over her shoulder that was nearly taller than she was. None of the Guardsmen looked fit, in the slightest. Neither did the airline people blocking parents from getting too near the security gates. A few of the airline people at the gates looked downright feeble. I would simply not count on anyone in authority at the airport to defend me in an emergency.
The TSA people wandering around the new AA terminal were a mixed crowd--a few healthy looking folks but I saw half a dozen who looked as if they needed to go on serious diets and find a treadmill.
All this is by way of saying that our alleged security stinks but don't worry--we're all going to have to put up with more security cameras watching our every move and listen to hysterical people on the tube talking about the massive loss of life we face if we don't give up more freedoms.

Speaking as a Glaswegian who's been reading Atrios daily since 2003, I'm very disappointed at some of the childish comments posted here. I can't help but wonder if the dismissive attitude has to do with the fact that it wasn't Americans who were targeted.

@ Another Harassed Mediaevalist - I won't put you down. I will say that I think many thoughtful Americans are just so tired of the scaredy-cat conservatives of America telling us all to cower in fear of every brown person, with or without a car, who passes us by.
I take comfort in seeing Americans, not respond with fear when some morons in the UK light themselves on fire. I like it when we stand up and say "Hell no - I'm not scared - we're braver and stronger than these fools!"
I think the response here is quite a bit wiser and braver than the mass hysteria emanating from many a television in "the home of the brave" today.
Get ready...Bush had a bad week..so for several months now we will have so-called terrorist events...coincidence?? I don't think so...were back to the "scare" tactics...The ONLY thing I am scared of this regime....these people are in on all of this..just little things but enough to keep it going..it's all they've got!
The most distrubing thing about this incident is the media's inability to recognize the difference between a serious attempt at an attack on the west that "has the hallmarks of an Al Queda attack", and a terrorist plot hatched using gasonline tanks and propane. Looking back at Madrid, Richard Ried, 9/11, and the African Embassy bombings in the late 90's, its clear that Al Queda is well trained and knowledgeable in the area of explosives. Contrast these successful attacks with what happened in London tbese past few days, and the failed follow up to the 7/7 subway attacks, and we're talking amature hour....Definitly not the same group.
But lets assume (which is most likely the case) that this was carried out by an unknown group of people, homegrown in England with no connection to Al Queda but pissed off enought to attempt mass murder; the whole thing is still very, very disturbing.
This is why I've long said that the rules about not leaving a car stopped at an airport ain't worth a bucket of warm spit.
Terrorists don't follow the rules. By the time some dumb fuck rent-a-cop tells them to move on, they've already set something off.
Alert, thoughtful citizens and quick action by law enforcement mean 1,000,000 times more than the lame-ass security theater, which is designed to turn us all into compliant lobotomized fucking sheep while doing not a motherfucking thing about stopping any actual crimes.
Oh, and somebody wake me up when "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" starts working.
