Several years ago, I drew a cartoon facetiously suggesting that children terrorists would be the next big threat. After all, they like playing on those jungle gyms; you know, like the ones in those pre-9/11 training videos? And of course, children under the age of 12 don’t have to even present ID in order to board a plane.
Today comes the news that Afghan authorities arrested an eight-year-old girl as she fumbled with the detonator on her suicide vest in Afghanistan.
It all goes to show, whatever you can think of, no matter how outlandish, someone will actually do.
Not that I’m suggesting that children are the next battleground in the war on terror.
