Terrorist Special Olympics in the UK
First London and then Glasgow. Who are these idiots? Is there a Special Olympics for terrorists going on in the UK this week?
Two points about Glasgow:
One, airport security worked. And two, putting a propane tank into a car and driving into a building at high speed is the sort of thing that only works in old episodes of The A Team. On television, you get a massive, extensive explosion. In real life, you only get a small localized fire.
I am particularly pleased with the reaction from the Scots, which is measured and reasonable. No one was hurt; no need to panic. Life goes on.
On the other hand, who invites their friends to come along on a suicide mission?

I think the Scottish reaction has got a lot to do with the fact that Glaswegians are used to seeing burning cars….it’s pretty much the worst place for the amateur terrorist to try to blow up; the man who was on fire was initially tackled not by the police or security but by a baggage handler!
