I'm sitting in my office on the 26th floor of a high rise in Midtown Manhattan while my family is at home. Forgive me for being paranoid rather than cavalier about the threats.

FWIW, I'm in your area, commuters distance.

As of yesterday, through my routine of errands, all Muslims I see normally, shop owners and such, are still where they should be. None have left.

We all pray for you and your family and everyone else in New York. New York City is my place of birth and I have a special place in my heart for it. I think during this time we should all come together and pray that our law enforcement and intelligence community can stop whatever these guys are trying to do, where ever that might be.

Would they actually be stupid enough to try and run the gauntlet of NY on high alert? I've heard this is now one of the best protected cities in the country.

There are many people on these threads that bring out the tinfoil and showers when we speak about these threats, but no one is immune at this point so we all need to be vigilent. Millions of eyes watching and helping law enforcement may just be a way to stop them!! We must never forget what they did on 9-11 and never let it happen again!!!!

Jimbo would you please share if security seems beefed up and what is the special police squad called? And Jersey how about Penn Station?
