In a large country where people have never had to be observant to survive, and who live in target-rich environment which has blissfully slept behind its coasts for generations ... it is easy to do a lot of things unobserved. It's even easy to do a lot of dangerous things in plain view, since people tend to overlook the obvious or are reluctant to inquire. Targets on land or sea are absolutely limitless. They don't have to be big. People are going to have to pay more attention instead of walking around all glassy-eyed.

Funny you mention being observant....I saw these two guys a couple days in a row sitting in front of MY Starbucks, obviously watching people go in and out.....and one day acting weird....so I pulled out my trusty little throwaway camera and took their picture, (including license plate) and they knew it - haven't seen em since....

Yep this is true. BE OBSERVANT!

We just got word of pipe bombs planted on the Capitola, CA esplanade. Everyone is evacuated.

Someone was observant and saved lives!
