Agree with you.......but.......NYers are anxious, to say the least. When you take the subways underground, the trains leading into Penn Station and Grand Central Station, have experienced 9/11 in your own backyard, and then a year later, a major blackout on the East Coast, which was reminiscent of 9/11, the following year a major transit strike, which again, had folks walking for hours over all of the Manhattan Bridges, the same visual of 9/11, add to this that there hasn't been a single plane crash into a building since somewhere around 1940ish (correct me if I am wrong).......add in the month of Ramadan, the constant jihadist websites calling for the destruction of the Great Satan, with specific references to NYC, DC, it kinda makes ya a little anxious, don't ya think?

It can make you anxious, no doubt, but there are plenty of things in NYC to be anxious about every day, that have nothing to do with terrorism.

I come across as very harsh on people who assume it's terrorists everytime something happens, and I probably shouldn't be, but it bugs me because I see it as a little victory by the terrorists - if they can still spook people five years after the fact, then they've accomplished some of what they wanted to do. The reality is, you have more to fear stepping off a curb in NYC from a foreign taxi driver than you do from a foreign terrorist.

It's not just people being afraid everytime something happens, at times the media preys on those people, and it's sickening that they do that. Those folks have enough problems in their lives without the media trying to scare them.
