I had the same feelings living in South Dakota about an hour north of Omaha. If a city like Omaha, Kansas City, Louisville, Waco, Sioux City, Des Moines were to be hit by a terrorist attack, it would change my perspective on how safe I am.
Having said that, what about the idea that NYC after 9/11 has seen a bolstering of its anti-terrorism infrastructure and there's not the need for continued high levels of funding?
