If you were a terrorist..

.. how would you attack, asks Steven Levitt of Freakonomics fame. Why? Because he presume...

"...that a lot more folks who oppose and fight terror read (t)his blog than actual terrorists. So by getting these ideas out in the open, it gives terror fighters a chance to consider and plan for these scenarios before they occur."
John Lott, who has a recent book called Freedomnomics, which counters many of the claims made in Freakonomics, protests in a Fox News article.

I dare say Lott seems unduly obsessed (jealous?) with Levitt and his fame! His blog seems to be one continuous tirade against Levitt and he also has a defamation case (which he seems to be losing) filed against Levitt over things the latter wrote in Freakanomics about Lott's published studies about crime & its correlation with gun-control.
