best way to destroy the US economy: Float a believable news story (via one or two "incidents") that one out of every 10 gas pumps may be contaminated with explosive gasoline. Everything would come to a halt.

What if Al Qaeda’s plan was not to actually crash airplanes? Wha t if their plan was to try drive us crazy with ever more arcane flight safety procedures? Look at the return on investment for them. A few of their lowly pawns gets arrested trying to set up a half baked petard, but in exchange millions of travelers can q uarry liquids and now powders. Even better, they have to remain tied to their seats!
