Bombing Prediction
UPDATE: I guess I was wrong about Part 1 - or at least this specific individual.
- Part 1: This is the easy part - the Saudi national who is currently a person of interest will in fact be found to be the guilty party, with possibly other Saudi national co-conspirators.
- Part 2: This part is even easier - the fact that the bomber(s) is/are Saudi nationals will have no impact on any proposed counter-measures, on the immigration debate, and will not in fact be deemed to be relevant in any discussions about the bombing whatsoever (except of course on disreputable and hateful blogs) - regardless of his/their immigration status. Bonus prediction: John McCain will be particularly solicitous of Saudi forgiveness for any slights any of his countrymen might be perceived to have meekly emitted.

Garbage bin placement might be re-evaluated by authorities for events such as this. Perhaps placing the cans in small concrete peagravel wells could be a countermeasure. It seems like terrorists bombs are oft suitcase or gabage can placements. In the future, they might be able to fly them in at low altitude on radio controlled-drones.The truck bomber in New York a few years back was close. The truck was smoking, but didnt detonate. Cameras will not deter a suicide bomber. They wont care. In fact, that might even be an enticement.
I hate to say this, but one approach (aside from additional surveillance and vigilance) we might take is to just kind of agree to live with it. As heinous as this was, it's a big country, and the odds of anyone getting hurt in such an attack remains vanishingly small. I mean, we still fly, and airliner accidents are pretty horrific too.
