Hmm. i wonder if this is a side-effect of what happens when we have a media industry and political administration that has an interest in keeping the populace in as freaked out as possible.

The threat info they're giving out seems even more vague and watery than usual.

"Sources say the threat to New York City possibly involves a female suicide bomber, but no specific target has been identified and intelligence sources are still evaluating the credibility of this threat."

This is helpful. Just avoid all women and you'll be safe.

four years pass...

Had to get a taxi to Berlin airport the other day because the trains were stopped. Apparently because a bomb had been found on somebody trying to gain access to a Berlin - London flight. Almost certainly the one I was going to be on.

The German authorities are hushing it up, of course, as they do, but I feel I ought to be fairly rattled at this point.
