At risk is a relative term though. IMO the threat of terrorism is trumped up and blown out of proportion by the current administration and the media.
Absolutely agreed 100%. But as we all know, bad news sells. And somehow, this administration was successful in selling their message of fear to the American public.
Houston has LOTS more to worry about than any other city besides New York.
1) Home to more big important companies than any other
2) Energy Center of the world
3) NASA
4) Biggest inland port in country.
A strike there would cripple the world's economy, especially America's. The worst you'd have to worry with L.A. is watching more reruns than usual, and with chicago...hmm I don't know there'd be a polish sausage shortage for at time?

Yeah, not sure how they have convinced all the sheeple that somehow terrorists might want to hurt us because nobody was thinking that is possible and that 9/11 was just a coincidence.
