I believe it likely has more to do with the fact that there are very tall buildings in Europe that are still standing.

Oh, and the terrorist attacks in Spain which killed 190 people and injured more than 1,800 others don't count? Nor does the ongoing war of terrorist attrition in Paris and Rome? Or how about our buddies, the IRA, who got quite a bit of financing from Irish ex-patriots and people of Irish descent right here in the good old anti-terrorist USA? If Great Britain were to institute a similiar security program to the one we now demand of the EU, every American citizen sould expect to spend days in Heathrow while they were checked out for possible links to IRA sympathisizers. Remember all those car bombings in Ulster and in London and just about everywhere else in the British Isles that you could name? Or don't the Spanish and British count because CNN didn't feature them on the news last night and the American people have the collective memory of a single Mayfly which lives for precisely 24 hours? Jeez, Wolf, I expected more from you then that, you seem like an intelligent person.
