Counterterrorism officials have issued security bulletins to police around the nation about terrorist interest in attacking stadiums, entertainment complexes and hotels — the latest in a flurry of such internal warnings as investigators chase a possible bomb plot in Denver and New York.
Officials said the FBI/Homeland Security bulletins weren't tied to known threats and New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly downplayed terror fears there, saying there was no specific threat and he wasn't stepping up his forces as a result.
"There is no security information on entertainment, sports, transit, no specific information ... other than the fact that in a post-9/11 world, we are concerned about a lot of things," Kelly told reporters at a Tuesday morning briefing in Manhattan.
Raids on three Queens apartments may have derailed a terror plot, but they caused a rift between the NYPD and FBI officials who wanted to get more evidence, sources said Tuesday.

I will say this, last night, walking home, at Madison and 57th, I saw a cab crash into an SUV. the two cars pulled over, the suv driver got out of his car and ran around to the passenger side to see if the woman with him was ok. At the same time, some serious NYPD folks (hercules? torch?) came out of nowhere and they surrounded the cab, asking the driver to pop the trunk.

I look for suspicous activity anytime I go to a place that is overly crowded. When I go to a restaurant I sit with my back against the back wall and face the door.

the MTA has upped security at many key locations but I haven't seen a huge increase. Maybe I should go down the hall to the Long Island Railroad office and ask them what's up.

Pretty good timing since we recently heard from the scary dead guy.
As far as prediction threads go, predicting a terror scare shortly after a faked OBL video is generally a sure win.
Also LOTS of kudos to everyone on the board who has been predicting an event this week. Looks like this one "hit". Remember readers, in this new United States, a rumor of a terror threat can be much more effective than the real thing.

Nothing wrong with making people more aware really. Airports do it 24/7.

That is insane.
You do realise you are giving the "terrorists" the victory they want, you live your life in fear.
Grow up!

The key code word for their attack is "wedding cake". And I think I know what it might be.
