Title: Is anyone really afraid of terrorist attack?
Post by: davidpt40 on February 16, 2003, 09:01:27 PM

Is anyone here in the U.S. really afraid of being attacked by terrorists?  A simple yes or no would suffice.

I for one, am not.

Am I afraid to die ? Yes .

Do I think the likelyhood that my death will come from international criminal activity is higher now then it was 4 years ago ? Yes .
 
Do I anticipate that people will die soon from terrorist activity? Yes.

Do I anticipate that I will die soon from terrorist activity? No.

So I guess my answer to the question would be yes.

Now my question to you is, why wouldn't anybody be afraid of an attack ?

Afraid personally no, concerned yes.

I've seen supply's of plastic sheeting & duck tape selling out of menards, lowes, & home depot.

This is in Conservitive stuck in the middle of nowhere special Fargo North Dakota.

What will it be this time? small plane thowing anthrax balloons out the window?

We know Saddam has been working on remotely operated drones. What better system for biological/chemical release?

Only those who live in NYC or Washington D.C. or the west coast really need to worry.  I live in fly-over country.  Terroists have no idea of where I live or even care:)
