Was this latest "Terrorist Alert/Airline Passenger crackdown" a response to the the Prudhoe shutdown? An overt attempt at rapid demand destruction?

I think it it tragic to see this list degenerate into a posting place for conspiracy theory nitwits.

The kind of manipulation of the media that MicroHydro talked about is well known, well understood, and plain to see. Timing press releases is taught to public relations people in school. My employer is small enough, and I'm sufficiently senior,  that I get to eat lunch with the folk that plan these sorts of things. It happens.

Given that, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to see other factors affect the timing of press releases. And at least this is a peak oil related theory.

But I agree that it would be nice if The Oil Drum didn't go to far down this road.

Point taken. I shouldn't have replied to that Coincidence Theory guy on the old news about the WTC.
Hey, Capone said "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action", but that doesn't mean he was right. Sometimes things just happen.

Stop your crying Ron.  You need to expand your thought process a tad...
