Here’s the quote which concludes the article: “[State Police Maj. Scott] Pare praised the booth attendant and said the incident is a reminder of the terrorism threat confronting the civil aviation system. ‘In this day and age, the threat continues to be there,’ he said. ”
Look. It should be clear to anyone that just because you’re scared of something doesn’t mean that the something “continues to be there.” The logic is amazingly faulty: just because someone wore a harmless shirt into an airport and police over-reacted (or “strongly” reacted, depending on your position) means that “the threat” continues?
