Of course the margin of error is bigger than that!

I note that the number of people who say they would feel safe is smaller than the poll's margin of error.

I got the only speeding ticket I can remember getting in the Ted Williams Tunnel. I could use "fear of collapse" as a defense, right?
Or, I could say I'm a conservative and felt threatened. Or a male, and felt "sought after." Or I had money, and felt pursued by tax collectors...but really, it's just a great big straightaway that seems to invite driving fast on a Sunday morning when there's only two other cars around (one being the parked trooper's).
Well, it's not anymore, actually...

Would they feel safer if John Kerry were there to protect them? (By the way, Kerry was in Vietnam, dontcha know?)

The 4% that answered 'very safe' are either related to Fat Matt or don't follow the news.

Are tunnels rare in that region of the country?

Barney Frank would feel safe in it - as long as he entered from the rear.

Hezballah in Lebanon constructed better tunnels while doing it in secret, and they didnt dig up half the city.

The article says the bolts failed due to a design change. No matter how you try to keep 12 tons of concrete in the air, if you use glue it's probably not going to work well.
