I might be paranoid here but does this strike worry anyone that any kind of terrorism could happen? I don't think they (terrorists) move on the fly that much especially here in the US but NYC is going to be in chaos until this is settled.

I share your concern, and wondered the same as I did during the evacuation of Gulf States and Florida. I would anticipate that the Dept of Homeland Security has a plan for this eventuality, i.e. extra security on bridges, roadways etc. If there is not a contingency, after all the money we have spent on this agency, they should all be fired. I suspect there will be some type of Court order later this AM, from a union point of view it is a great time to strike for them. For a New Yorker, traveler or retailer it really sucks.

If the terrorists were able to move on the fly, they would have attacked after Katrina hit and the Department of Homeland Security was unable to cope. I don't think NYC will be as affected as you think by the strike. NYC has a zillion taxis and most people, including tourists, can travel by foot. Further, if something bad happened, I'm not sure how much mass transit would help anyway, and presume in an emergency the union would suspend the strike.

A few years ago I read an article about Cuba. Because of the embargo, Cuba has had trouble maintaining its cars, and as a result more and more of their people depend on bicycles and walking. The result was a decline in medical problems and health care costs.

If Homeland Security does have a plan for such a situation and the "Dingobat Democrats" find out about it they will try to destroy it (Civil Liberties Don't You Know)

"Mommy"

"Shhh, don't tell anyone, we don't want to violate his "Constitutional Rights"
"Oh, OK Mom"
"Mom"

"Won't he violate his own rights if he blows his bowels and guts all over the Mall"?
"Would you like an ice cream"?

Harry, better go to your bunker. A terrorist attack could come every day now.
