New York City has been on a higher level of alert than the rest of the country since 9/11/01. I see police and military vehicles at every bridge and tunnel crossing. When the treat level was raised before the first anniversary of 9/11, there were even more police everywhere. When the threat was lowered, the number of police visible decreased somewhat. Sometimes it feels like a police state, but I have grown accustomed to it.
I think that this latest threat is real. We have political conventions in two of the biggest cities in the US. There will be millions of people in those cities during the conventions. It frightens me to think of the possibilities.
