Western businesses seem to have dodged the bullets, but the attack on the USS Cole is evidence that terrorists are still capturing headlines. I missed this one in that I didn't expand it enough to cover, for instance, the dozen tourists on a scuba diving trip taken hostage in Philippines. Three of the most noteworthy incidents of air rage occurred over the past year. Jonathan Burton was killed by fellow passengers who subdued him on a flight into Salt Lake City. And I bet that I would score about the same for this year by simple re-running last year's predictions.
Crime is just so darn predictable.
