NY Magazine reports that New York subways were targets of a coordinated terrorist attack broken up by law enforcement:
Zazi and his two Queens friends allegedly planned to strap explosives to their bodies and split up, heading for the Grand Central and Times Square stations - the two busiest subway stations in New York City.
They would board trains on the 1, 2, 3 and 6 lines at rush hour and planned to position themselves in the middle of the packed trains to ensure the maximum carnage when they blew themselves up, sources said.
NYMag.com commenter JA2009 writes in response: Our law enforcement is getting the job done. The odds that you'll be the victim of a terrorist attack are lower than the odds that you'll die in a car accident. Don't be pussies. Besides, with our MTA how the hell can these guys plan a "coordinated" attack?
A deft combination of belief in law enforcement, derision of those afraid of terrorists, and gallows humor at the expense of non-NYPD municipal services. This attitude, which I think is pretty widespread among New Yorkers, is precisely why we would be happy to have the KSM trial here.
