Attacking Globalization Itself
UPS is just-in-time globalization. What’s most interesting about the mail bombs going out on it’s networks (cell phones strapped to explosives, designed to go off when the alarm went off), is that the attackers did not know where that would occur. If the aircraft would be in the air or even what country.
In short, they just attempted a cluster of cheap, small attacks on globalization itself.
Good news? They used Yemen of all places, giving counter terrorists everywhere the false impression we ‘prevented’ them from using other, less conspicuous places.
Bad news? They’re on track to figuring it out.
