Seems like the Alert Level varies from place to place. It stays high in places like DC and NYC.
I've been away from the news (much to my dismay) for too long, but I understand the latest attack in Spain was a set of 10 bomb blasts, which fit's AQ's MO.
/Imagination running wild/
IF an attack does occur on US soil, it will be simultaneous or may come in a series. AQ likes to use our own technology against us and we are oh so dependent on computers, the Internet, cell phones, cable TV, etc
Scary scenario:
A computer worm or virus is released bringing the Internet to a halt, cutting a form of communication and commerce (AQ likes to go after money). If they could also disable cell phones, those two events in themselves would make most people jittery. Now a series of violent attacks (bomb blasts, plane crashes, etc) happen and most people would go into panic mode. Throw into that mix the release of smallpox or a virulent strain of Ebola or some other nasty bug and you have the making of a true multifaceted disaster.
/Imagination reigned back in/
Being a tinfoil hat wearing paranoid, I always notice when my cell phone signal is lost, low flying planes, unusual police activity, etc
If people are prepared for such a scenario, the impact of any such events would be greatly diminished and we would show AQ just how tough we soft infidels can be.
