I honestly think that it should not have made it to the media. Since it did it scared everyone and made them worried to travel. I also think that it could have provoked Al Qaeda. Honestly people are happier when there clueless about whats going on.
Well I don't think it's the greatest thing that this has made media because it could always get back to Al Qaeda and then we could be at risk. It scares me how many enemies the United States has but I do feel safer because I feel as if we are well protected. As long was we can stop them from getting to us then I will be able to sleep at night.

I think it's a good thing that this CIA operation made it to the media.I think that because that way people can know what's going on in the world.Sometimes I feel more in danger knowing that so much goes on in regards to Al Qaeda.I feel that way because if their plans just keep getting shot down their going to keep trying and one day it make just be successful and that's not good.
Its a good idea to release things like this to the media. It keeps people in the know which makes people aware that the world has dangerous elements in it. Its not good to be ignorant of things like this. I don't really feel safer knowing this. This just gives me a better reason to eventually be able to stop Al Qaeda for good.

Honestly I don't know what I think about this CIA operation that made it to the media. I can't really explain it good. I feel more in danger knowing that so much goes on in regards to AL Qaeda. Why, because anything can happen. Now we aware about what's going on.

I think it's bad that this CIA operation made it to the media. Now Al Qaeda know that we had someone spying on them so now they probably won't trust anyone new now. It makes me feel more in danger knowing that so much goes on in regards to Al Qaeda. I had no idea that stuff was still going on with them. Knowing that they were making bombs planning to bomb something freaks me out.
I think it was goods news that they could stop them before anything could have happen because it could have been worse. Honestly I feel neither because I know there are a lot more people willing to blow up some more things in the U.S.
It's probably not a good thing that this story went public because now it will be harder to get another "double agent" in to do this sort of thing again because they will be expecting it. I don't feel any less safe than I always have because it's always gonna be somebody gunning for us no matter what
I think it's a good thing that this CIA operation made it to the media because people need to know what's going on in the world. I feel more in danger knowing that so much goes on in regards to Al Qaeda.
I think its a good thing to see what the CIA does. We get to know what's going on and what they do to keep Americas a safe place to live. I feel a bit more in danger. Al Qaeda is always up to no good. They either have to bomb us or some other peaceful country.
I think its a good idea to release stuff like this to the media. One reason is to keep us aware what is going on in the world. I feel danger because I know the risk and danger that goes on in regard to Al Qaeda.
If the CIA didn’t tell the media when it did seep out people would think their hiding more than it looks like. The fact that they immediately told the media seems like their trying to get “props”. But now that it’s in the media will people be scared to fly again? I feel safe though and I hope our government and troops keep us safe. I’ve never been on an airplane so I don’t have to worry.
I do not think that this CIA operation should be in the media, along with any other CIA operation. I feel safe as a US citizen. It does make me feel safer knowing that the CIA and other law enforcement goes to the extent that they do to protect us.
I don't think it makes a difference. It wasn't a huge deal. I feel safer because that means they are doing everything to find out what they are doing and keeping us safe.
It doesn't really matter. I think the government has it under control so I'm not to worried about it.
I think its bad that a CIA agent made it to the media.
It is bad thing to put CIA operations on the media, because Al Qaeda would know what they have planned. If all the informatives do cooperate then it would be safe.

I think its a good thing, because a lot of time the CIA keeps so much from us for instance if someone hadn't found out then we would never know about this either. The US could have been in danger by this plane, what if the informant really wasn't on our side. I hate the CIA they should let citizens more aware of whats going on. Just like soldiers can't tell us what's going on over seas sometimes. I feel in more danger knowing what happens in Al Qaeda if our enemy tries to bomb us or something I hope that we never get threatened by a atomic bomb.

I think its a bad thing that the CIA operation made it to the media. Now everybody is going to be terrified to go on a plane. We already get fully checked on planes, and now we probably are going to have to get more checked. I think this should have been kept secret. I mean I feel sorta safe. They are doing their hardest to keep us safe and that's all we can ask for. Hopefully, they will find a for real answer soon.
I think that it is vital to do such things as they did. However, I don't think that they should put it all over the news. It's just bragging, which is what would get us targeted more. There are both feelings of safety and danger knowing everything that is going on in Al Qaeda. -Josh Cutchins
I'm not sure if it could be good or bad. I think that American citizens have the right to know what's going on but I don't think that we need to know everything. There are some things that are meant to be kept secret and in the government's hands. I think most people already knew that things like this were happining with the Al Qaeda. I thought that the war was over. I know that there are still conflicts but I didn't know they were still carrying bombs that could harm the United States.
I don't think it's really a good thing that the CIA operation made it to the media.Well it's kind of bad when something that needs to stay out of the media gets in the media. I feel a lit bit more in danger knowing that so much goes on in regards to Al Qaeda ,but a lit bit safer knowing the CIA is doing all they can for everyone's safety.
I think that it's a good thing that this CIA operation made it to the media. Everyone likes a good spy story. I feel a little bit safer knowing more about Al Qaeda’s bomb technology. The more we know about their technology, the more we can prevent and prepare for possible terrorist attacks.
I think that it is a good and bad thing that this made it to the news. I think that it is bad because it would have a lot of the people who saw the news cast scared, nervous and concerned. But it is good, because the CIA and government, is willing to shed info on the case. I feel a little more safer knowing that the government has at least one way to detect these dangerous outcasts.
A good thing that they made it to the media. Airports will have more security in it. I feel there is going to be more dangerous. Al Qaeda is probably make more devices and more advance. They probably make the device smaller but with more explosion.

I think it's a bad idea to release information to the media like this. I think this will cause more attacks now. But it is nice to know we are that smooth to get away with stuff like this.
I think it's a good thing the CIA operation made it to the media because I think we, as American citizens, deserve to know what is going on. I feel more in danger, every morning when I cut on the news, all I see are new bomb threats and bombing attempts. Its sad that we are so scared of being bombed because all those innocent children and people that have to go through attacks everyday in Iraq and Pakistan. For them it's just a everyday reality that they have gotten used to. I am just thankful that I don't have to go through the things they do.
I think that it is great and also a bad think . Many people would have a good and a bad perspective of it .
I think that's it's half good and half bad that this story made it on the news. Now they probably know that there are undercover agents who are actually trying to get more bombs to the U.S. for examining.
To be honest, I feel a lot safer knowing that there are more people willing to stop these crazy people from creating bombs to destroy the U.S.
