    Default Toothpaste out of the tube ....

    re: SGMGrumpy's post.

    This is one that has plagued my imagination since Oklahoma City. So much toothpaste has exited the tube as more and more people are trained in nasty tactics. It stands to reason that some of them will use those tactics in their "real world" lives - and not as part of some AQ- or Hez-linked org.

    The havoc raised by two simple operations - anthrax letters and DC snipers - proves that our nation is very over-reactive to these things. The consequential economic and psychological damage far exceeds the immediate damage done by the operations.

    I see this as a problem that will continue - and will probably grow. Thanks for giving us a headsup on this incident.
