...subscribe to the theory that the shoe bomber was a confused loner and did not belong to a group. If Reid were part of a well-organized terrorist setup, wouldn't he have used a sophisticated detonator instead of a match? And even if he had to use a match, a trained terrorist would have had the sense to light it in the plane's toilet, rather than in full sight of a bunch of passengers. RAMJI R.

...played by Jennifer Garner on ABC's buzziest new-season show, Alias, Bristow is one of the most winning female-action heroes on TV.
