When I watch the news and get a sense that there are terrorists everywhere, a certain part of me gets excited. Not the part that you're thinking of, but the part that longs for time travel. With sleeper cells in the US, it seems to me that the probability of one of those cells contacting a rogue scientist for purposes of building a nuclear bomb, are very likely. Less likely, but still probable are the chances that the scientist might doop the terrorists into believing that the bomb, made from an old pin-ball machine, is actually functional. Even less likely, but with a glimpse of hope, is the chance that the rogue scientist might have secret plans to use the plutonium to power his flux capacitor. Then, god willing, there might be a chance that the particular scientist has befriended a street-smart slacker with a chip on his shoulder. If these events were to coincide, then maybe we might have the chance for time travel to not only be possible, but also extremely entertaining from an observers standpoint. I know what I'm asking Santa for Christmas.
