I've been saying this for ages: the terrorists are winning when we change our way of life out of fear. Their aim is not to kill people: that is just the means to the end of sowing chaos, disorder and fear, and they seem to be doing a very good job of that right now. Bruce Schneier puts this better than I ever could.

I have tlked - and it's only talk, of course - about putting up a website featuring pictures of folks queueing with plastic bags, and being frisked on the Tube etc. It would also carry links to news items, and lists of all the "anti-terrorist" legislation passed in the UK since 2001.

Nice URL. I have half a mind to go off and register it. But then I realise that it is the only half a mind I have and it would probably be best applied elsewhere -- like fixing a cup of tea, or operating a digital watch, or something. But then again that might be considered an act preparatory to terrorism. Only terrorists check their watches these days...
