You just declared a win for terrorism. Millions of people’s lives disrupted, 10s of millions of dollars in lost productivity.
Anyone with half a brain could concoct a fraudulent *specific* threat for multiple targets.
Because this one was so successful it is going to occur again and again and again.

And it could happen with Ports, Food Distribution Centers, etc., etc.
You can’t discern between “concoct with half a brain” vs “actual impending bloodbath”?
Yes, this instance may be your scenario: terrorists win by concocting a sufficient yet [mostly] baseless threat. And yes, I’m generally inclined to “take the risk” and not freak out over vague baseless threats. HOWEVER, you also need be aware that viable/realistic/imminent threats can & do happen, and that leaving thousands in place for actual slaughter is reprehensible (at best).
Let’s withhold judgement & insults until we have some credible information about what happened. Yeah, probably just a “terrorists win without doing anything” overreaction, but considering San Bernardino having happened just up the street a couple weeks ago, and lots of other circumstantial weirdness going on (3 guys buy 100 anonymous cell phones at 3AM; explosives going missing; etc), let’s not quite dismiss it as nothing yet.
Yep. They’ve set the stage for every cry wolf incident and we, because we’re so dumb as a country, are now going to have to endure this.
So, all these dumb bunnies who refuse to look at vetting third world immigrants can just suck eggs. They bring this on with their stupidity.
