I wouldn't count on that lasting, though--someday some terrorist is going to realize that if they really want the population terrified, taking out a Walmart on the day after Thanksgiving is the way to go.

Or blow out a section of elevated highway or a tunnel. Making people scared to drive would be extremely crippling to the way this country lives day-to-day.

And now only 100 posts or so to go.
