"There's no need for public alarm, because there's no specific threat."

Swell.

As I prepare to leave for the airport to go to San Diego, here's news that alarming things have been going on with regard to weapons on planes, including something at the San Diego airport. "Specific threat"? I think this sort of thing found at an airport is a specific threat. Geez.

And I thought my primary problem today would be the number of Northwest flights that have been canceled recently.
