Should we be returning to a full grounding of all flights?

With the new arrests in NY of more terrorists trying to board planes with weapons, should we be risking allowing more flights right now?

I'm not really sure either way, but it is frightening. ABC reported that several employees at a certain airport (don't remember which one) purposely tried to pass through airport security with weapons. They were able to walk through with a pocketknife, a corkscrew, and something else. (This was at a smaller airport I believe.)

Things are so chaotic right now, and it seems so risky. One more hijacked plane (or more) would amplify this tragedy incredibly.

I know I won't get on a plane for awhile...

I almost think that they are temping the terrorists to board flights just to have us catch them. This seems like a good idea no?

I was planning a trip to NYC at the end of this month. I don't know if that will happen or not.

My dad is currently stuck in London, UK. He was coming from India to Toronto. Hopefully he'll get a flight tomorrow.

Well, the big fear I have is that somehow, someone would get through. That's frightening.
