"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"

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!!!!

When my mother was being given last rites, the doctor said we are prepared for the worse case scenario, it is time to talk to your siblings. We made the decision, walked in her room to say our goodbye's and 'she' was sitting up. This is how I like to look at us fringe lunatics -smiles-
