The qualifier to that is what happened in London, and what could have happened there. With all the cameras and survellience, one would think what was pulled off would have been very difficult. The 'incident' on 7/21 put some question into that argument.
Mass transit is VERY difficult to protect. It's also simple to case. If subways don't appear possible, all they have to do is ride a few buses to get the feel for a new target. As long as they are not in custody, we should worry a bit.
Or it could all be a diversion. This stuff gives me a headache. ;-)

VERY good questions that I've been asking myself. I don't have any answers.

While it does grab one's attention, don't stress too much. All we can do is the best we can. The best I can do is get and stay prepared, go to work everyday, take care of myself and my dog, and trust in God.
All we can do is our best so let's do it. I've be designing disaster recovery plans for a major IT corporation for over 5 years. A manager once said this is not about risk reduction, it's about risk management.
See my homepage. THINK about your specific situation and how you would respond to any catastrophic events. Prepare, plan, communicate. That's all any of us can do. That's what we should do.
