Are we being tested?

In an article in Yahoo! news, see link here, there is a rental truck left sitting at the curb with fireworks in it and, oh by the way, a fire in one of the parking garages occurs in the same day. Now, am I the only one who thinks this is just TOO much of a coincidence? I mean, come on people. Is it that much of a stretch of the imagination that there may be a terrorist group that is wanting to test reaction times and how these types of potential threats are dealt with at an airport? Do we REALLY have to have another 9/11 before we start "digging in the weeds" on these types of things?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd want to know anything and everything I could about the person who was renting the U-haul, as well as anything and everything about known contacts. Is this an invasion of privacy? Hmmmm...maybe, but then it seems that the ones who usually do the most screaming about "invasion of privacy" are the ones who have the most to hide.

I'm no more excited about people getting into my business than the next person, but let's look at this realistically for a second. What does EVERYONE do when they are zipping along the highway and they SEE a police car? They SLOW DOWN. Now, apply that same principal to being monitored or potentially having someone digging through your every what, where, when and who. You think you just MIGHT behave a little differently than you normally do? It's pretty much the same theory applied to using locks. After all, they are only meant to keep an honest person honest. If not for dishonesty or immorality amongst humans, there would never be a need for locks and alarms.

Let's face it, Big Brother is coming, best we can do is prepare for it and then get on with our lives. In the mean time, when we have incidents like these at an airport (especially when they are in conjunction with each other at the SAME airport) they need to be exhaustively investigated.
