No!

Unfortunately, Bin Laden y"s was only one man who inspired murder. He has followers who will undoubtedly remind us of his legacy. His legacy? Suicide bombings all over the world invented by the palestinian "people". A people who NEVER EVER existed throughout history and God willing will never have a no-state of their own.

One step closer

With Laden gone we are one step closer to quicker security lines and maybe seeing meals served once again on domestic flights. Yea that is right! I blame terrorism for not having my kosher soggy half frozen deli sandwich and half pickle on my flights anymore. Oh the humanity!

No more utopia

No matter what we do, there will always be those who say "it's policy" and make life more miserable for those of us who just want to fly under the radar and live quietly.

Wish we could

Sadly Bin Laden will be replaced by another crazy leader. So put me through the xray machine, pat me down and take away my fluids because I want to arrive safely.

Sadly, we will never be able to "relax" our national security. However, the scenarios presented in the movie Due Date is, as with all things Hollywood, a figment of a screenwriter's overactive imagination.
