I'm nervous too. I live 20 miles from the biggest US naval installation in the world, NAS Norfolk.

Look at the bright side -- the terrorists almost invariably attack "soft" civilian targets, and stay far away from attacking anyone who could actually fight back, like a naval base.

I just heard it on MSNBC. Chris Whitcomb, former FBI said FEMA is new to BioTerror and they should NOT being telling people to go out and buy plastic & duct tape for their windows. He said it makes smart sense to be prepared as in any tornado, earthquake etc. but do not waste your money and panic.
