Whew. Thank God for the Second Amendment so normal folks can defend—wait, this is New York. Never mind.

Depending upon what happens in the next months/years, this may change considerable, with or without the consent of the legislature there.

aren't the sharpest pencils in the box, are a few bricks shy of a full load, their elevators don't quite go to the top floor.

Don't count on it. They will learn from their mistakes. Will we?

Another upper left sider! It is nice to know that I am not alone up here!

[Pharmboy]

This is a tactic borrowed from the anti-Israel campaign. Don't be surprised if they do not borrow a few others.

the lights are flashing, the guardrail is down, but there is no train :)

Also, if you are a business owner BUY A DIGITAL CAMERA and take shots of anyone that you think is suspicious.

Granddaughter's friend worked in a local gas station owned by Arabs. She was held up at gunpoint. She asked them to put in a camera. They refused. She quit.

True, they are not very smart, but they don't need to be.

I have to say that I think that when we are thinking of future terrorist plots we should overlay 'Dr. Evil' on our assumption of how these people think. Next thing you know they will be trying to build a giant "Laser".

They would pick emergency workers to deliver the next attack, it is so 'diabolical'.

Good points. These jokers are diabolical, to be sure, but not necessarily very clever. I for one can't wait for the US government to declare the hunting season open.

Do you think they have that same will to commit suicide that the middle eastern terrorists have?

Drive it in, park it, set the timer, walk away. Back to play another day. Not all of those thugs are senseless.

[NautiNurse]

Why does this shop build 'replicas' anyway.

That was my question first question too. I seem to recall this terrorist concern soon after 9-11 as well.

[swarthyguy]

I hope not but the indoctrination process is very severe. And even if not blondes, then spanish heritage or black americans converts could do a convincing job as well.

[max_rpf]

The solution then is old-west style wanted posters, complete with rewards. Those gang-bangers might just find a more rewarding business model. Print a full sheet in the Daily News...

[swarthyguy]

I think you need a vacation in Kashmir.

"God, I love Pork" would be a good password.

BEWARE OF ICE CREAM TRUCKS... I was thinking yesterday how they get no scrutiny, are parked there all day, right on wall street area.

[freeper12]

IMO, how these will be used (if indeed it does happen) is as a follow-up bombing...picture this, a bomb is set off someplace (i.e. a regular truck bomb), the fbi, atf, police, fire respond etc.

While all those safety/law enforcement people are scrambling to perform their duties, thats when the second dummy ambulance/fire-engine rolls in and blows up...while everyones guard is down and they expect to see emergency vehicles racing to the scene..

Just a thought.

[Howlin]

Stay safe.

Thanks, but I'm a home boy.
