Or maybe...

From Andrew Sullivan:

You mean only one alleged terror cell was interested in mixing liquids in lip-balm to blow up "dozens" of airplanes across the Atlantic? Or that the entire London bomb scare is beginning to look less and less like anything close to a realistic danger and was hyped for political purposes? I guess we'll soon find out from the British courts. But count me as a remaining skeptic on what exactly that August 10 bomb threat really was.

Or maybe Sullivan is a moron and perhaps if he had heard of a disrupted plot 5 years ago involving hijacking planes with knives and boxcutters in order to slam them into buildings, or maybe another plan to blow up a plane with a shoe, he would have called it a situation that looked "less and less like anything close to a realistic danger and was hyped for political purposes."
