[Miami1839]

I do find myself a little more cautious and on the lookout for things but then I'm a CJ graduate. I do find that being close to the Pentagon and where I work has effected me. I just got word today at work with what the Postal Service recommendations are. I was thinking its about time. I dont think my building is that high of a risk but being relatively near DC does make me think.

However, I will say that in some respects I think we as a country need to work harder to not let fear consume us. As hard as it may be that is what the object of terrorism is. More and More I think about these times it makes me think of when we first fought to establish our Independence back in 1776. We are in a time where its really testing us as nation and our government. I think its hard for our country now because we all thought that we were above a lot of what happens outside our borders.

I was thinking of a technique that you could employ if a hijacker tried to overtake your plane. Have everyone in the plane pickup an object and throw it at the terrorists and then jump on them. Maybe that wouldnt work. I dont know.

I do believe small pox and other air born diseases to be more of a risk than anthrax. At least with anthrax we have antibiotics and its not contagious.

I do believe the government needs to bite the bullet and federalize security at the airports.
