Are you extremely nervous about an attack? Are you modifying your behavior?
I am more worried about an increase in the profiling of and discrimination against middle-eastern looking people, which already appears to be happening once again.

Every one of us corresponding here has a billion times higher chance of dying from unrefrigerated giblet gravy.

If the State Department wants to put out a Thanksgiving Travel Advisory that would actually save lives, that is the hazard they should be addressing.

Not in the least concerned. I'm more worries that a white man carrying a gun will drop it in Lowe's and shoot me than I am about terrorist attacks.

Those darn stairs must be Muslim then. Only logical (Republican) explanation.

If I was in NYC, Washington, or Europe I'd be worried. Where I live my fears are traffic crashes and violent crime

A big attack here on US soil just about none. Now a smaller attack like the Boston Marathon bombing that could happen again. These mass shootings we have here we should worry about 10 times more than a large scale terrorist attack.

Yeah, but when somebody falls down the
stairs the economy doesn't grind to a halt.
