What's wrong with being skeptical about this latest terrorist threat?

After all, nothing happened. At least, not yet? Why should we feel inclined to believe that everything the government and the M$N are saying is true? Granted, the "terrorists" have every right to hate us and there is good reason to believe they could resort to an attack such as we have been advised.

However, to suggest that they were going to kill us by the thousands with shampoo and hydrogen peroxide and other toiletries does stretch the imagination. If they are this desperate to kill us, that they must resort to VO5, then why is everybody shaking like a dog shitting a peach seed? If this is all they have, and it has been "foiled", isn't all this an over-reaction by everyone?

We can just see 3 or 4 swarthy males going into a bathroom on a plane, setting up their little labratories with Bunsen burners or whatever, and mixing their explosives as everyone else on the plane naps on their pillows and eats peanuts...It all sounds so incredible. Not to be skeptical is what I cannot understand...
