[Miss Marple]

We are supposed to PAY ATTENTION to what's going on around us. If you notice suspicious or weird activity (such as Middle Eastern men fiddling with a car in a mall parking lot) you should call the police.

If you notice strange people cradling something bulky under their coats as they enter a shopping mall, go to security and ask them to check.

Make sure your home is well-supplied, and pay attention to the news.

Good reply, Miss Marple, and good advice.

Almost all crimes are solved or prevented by information from citizens. That's us.

Thank you for being the voice of reason, rather than some of the idiotic comments posted here from some who claim this is done so we will feel "scared". Nobody in this administration has ever said or even hinted that such should be our reaction to an elevated alert.

Geez.

Right, Miss Marple...I think the people making fun of this are wrong. We should just be prepared. Every American is a soldier in this war.
