From Reuters.com

In another sign of concern over the threat, U.S. officials said fighter jets escorted an Emirates flight from Dubai into New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport as a precaution because it was carrying cargo from Yemen. "There is no known threat associated with this cargo or this flight," said FBI spokesman Richard Kolko."

Wouldnt those two things point more to a greater chance of a terrorist attack being attempted than a theory that the politicians came up with a global hoax?

No more of that, please, this is your moderator's warning. Look up the plural of "country," and allow me to introduce you to the "apostrophe key" amongst other punctuation aids.

Oh, and don't try to drag an objective military thread off on a grand political tangent again.
