By All Means - "More Sinister"

We've become all too jaded by headlines of terrorism. They just don't grab us.

No terror groups have attempted to take credit for the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804, on the fifth day after the plane and 66 people on board disappeared over the Mediterranean. That may mean that something besides terrorists caused the tragedy; it could also mean something more sinister.

Oh, yes. Now we're hooked.

[T]here's a possibility — and historical precedent for the idea — that no terror group has claimed the destruction of the flight from Paris to Cairo because it either wants to protect operatives it has established inside transportation networks, or it has developed new techniques that it wants to replicate to more devastating effect later.

It's happened before.

Isn't that what "historical precedent" means? And, future terrorism being more sinister than current terrorism doesn't really work.

CNBC, get an editor on this now.

It's important to note that it's still very early going with the EgyptAir investigation, and a search for answers could take years. It will take at least a month for Egypt to deliver its preliminary report on the crash, the head of the investigation team told that country's Al-Ahram newspaper.

Speculation almost inevitably will try to fill in the gaps in the meantime.

You mean like you've just been doing?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
