Although the world does seem to be turning into 1984 in general, we do seem overly obsessed with aircraft and airport security.
Ok so a successful attack was carried out using a plane, doesn't it seem likely a different attack vector will be chosen, *especially* because of the focus on air travel surveillance.
First the Chinese firewall, and now ISPs closer to home. Of course the ISPs shouldn't be allowed to spoof any packets, but what would be the consequence of ignoring all reset packets on a home network?
Regarding the bit at the end about losing your domain name. Recently I had a domain name expire, and it entered a rather generous grace period followed by an extended "grace" period where I could exclusively pay money (few hundred £) to recover it just in time.
According to my limited experience of 1, I'd say you'd really have to take your eye off the ball to miss this one.
