Anyone in a betting mood?

How many times will we see stories like this between now and, say, US Election Day in November?

'Plot to blow up planes' foiled BBC 08/10/06

A terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight from the UK to the US has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said.

It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on aircraft in hand luggage.

Police have arrested about 18 people in the London area after an anti-terrorist operation lasting several months.
Some of them may even turn out to be true.

That could be a betting item.

Another could be betting on what date the Department of Homeland Security and Heckuva Job Disaster Relief will reinstitute the famous color-coded terror alerts.

Defend the bad against the worse."
