I can understand that to an extent. I always practice situational awareness, but it’s just based upon where I go. External circumstances don’t really factor in unless highly specific.

There is a contradiction in the best response to the two threats. Avoiding crowds is a good anti-terror strategy, but that tends to expose one to ordinary criminality and panhandling. I therefore prefer to do shopping errands early in the day, before crowds and before the usual villains have roused themselves to do mischief.
