WASHINGTON — When an admitted al-Qaida operative planned his itinerary for a Christmas 2009 airline bombing, he considered launching the strike in the skies above Houston,Texas, or Chicago, Illinois, The Associated Press has learned. Tickets were too expensive, however, so he refocused the mission on a cheaper destination: Detroit, Michigan.
If you are a Houstonian, like I am, then there is a lot to be said for the Middle Eastern art of haggling over prices. Works for me. Hey, airlines, raise the price for flying to Houston again, please. LOL.
