Do you think there will be any attacks or attempts tomorrow (today being Sept. 10th)? Major or minor or none?

I think if a guy wearing a funny head covering so much as jaywalks, all 847 U.S. channels are going to be all over it.

“U.S. TERRORIZED BY JAYWALKING!”

No attacks tomorrow, but on the 12th when everyone’s breathing a sigh of relief…

I think lots of people will be upset and lots of people will be angry. Almost everyone will be alert (and somewhat nervous) and nothing will happen. The only Bad Things I could even remotely foresee are lone nutters, not organised groups, who will be easily stopped by police forces or alert citizens long before they can cause real harm.

I certainly hope that this is what happens (nothing, that is).

Mom, is that you? She got dad to take tomorrow off since he works in Seabrook…I think if anything bad happens in the near future, it won’t be tomorrow.

From my enviable position in the future (well, a different timezone), I can assure you that it is indeed Wednesday.

I predict that an airline will have to be diverted to another airport for landing because of bad weather or something and FOX5 will interrupt normal programming to mention it, complete with loud important sounding music and flashy graphics and stupid newspeople, etc.
