The terrorists won it would seem if singing along to a song gets you
arrested/detained/whatever.....

State of Fear...

Via MSNBC (Reuters).

British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi
driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a
track by punk band The Clash, police said on Wednesday.

Detectives halted the London-bound flight at Durham Tees Valley Airport in
northern England and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off.

The taxi driver had become worried on the way to the airport because Mann
had been singing along to The Clash's 1979 anthem "London Calling," which
features the lyrics "Now war is declared -- and battle come down" while
other lines warn of a "meltdown expected."
