Hey, those terrorists must have complained that the liquidity in the airlines and insurance companies puts was too low, they wanted a better market where the inside information they possess can be used effectively. On the other hand, since the markets "forecast the future" an intrinsic assumption of coadunation between these new markets and actual future terrorism activity. You could state that DARPA is actually extremely smart since by following the trading pattern in that new market they can forecast possible terrorist activities and thus countermand these and countervail their potential impact.
PS, I am still waiting for Maria or another "smart" video journalist to take on the analysis of who were those silent Saudi Investors that bought tons of puts in UAL, AMR, AGI and AXA two three weeks prior to 9/11/01.
Back to some real work....
