With the horrible events of the Paris shootings now almost a week ago, there have been several other attacks, in Africa and threats against other European countries. Including the bombing of the Russian airliner weeks ago. ISIS had claimed responsibility.
In addition on CNN today (I don't think they are the gospel truth or anything just easy to find) Earlier in the week, two planes going to France were diverted to Halifax. Then it appears yesterday was struck by another bomb threat on board a flight from NY to Turkey...
It too was diverted to Halifax.
I realize that this is a serious problem, and I understand that we, as Western nations need to stand up to this. I still don't believe a war is the right way. But this is getting out of control, completely and utterly.
And I'm going to be flying here in about a month and a half. The thought that a bomb, may or may not be on a plane, is a very scary one. Terrifying in fact.
Threatening air travel is threatening the life blood of our industries. Within hours, supplies, tourists, and others, can arrive in a location. Replenishing counties assets.
Even a threat, such as the ones recently, derail flights, add time to potentially necessary assets. Now, if they manage to do this frequently, this could damage our economy worse than it already is.
And made travel, for mail, supplies or leisure far more infrequent.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore, all I know is I'm scared, and I don't know what the right answer is anymore.
