Actually, some bloggers have checked into the Jacobsen "Terror in the Skies" story and say that it appears to be substantially true. They also say that the "creative writer" Annie Jacobsen is a different person. A good roundup
may be found at http://michellemalkin.com/archives/000207.htm.

I thought this story was fascinating, too, when one of my sources alerted me to it. The story started to fall apart pretty quickly when I dug into
it.

The woman at the core of this story fancies herself as a "creative writer"
(just Google her) and indeed, it seems she got a bit creative in her
narrative.

Like Bruce, I believe that this kind of "boots on the ground" vigilance is what is needed on a larger basis. The trouble, as I found with this story,
are over-zealous, over imaginative or out right paranoid people that are
unable, unwilling (or both) to step back and ask themselves some logical
questions before pressing the panic button.
