I tend to agree, and so do most the other verbal experts who have provided recent interviews. There is no such thing as 100% security. The "experts" of which I speak include both gov and non-governmental people who readily admit that we cannot watch everything all the time. Listen to the news you guys cite all the time: Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. Then listen to Ridge and Tenant. These guys are not bluffing. Everyone snickers at Beer's bugout bag but there is nothing to laugh at. And by the way, 'believing in the Lord to save you from XYZ' is not necessarily going to help either - look at Spain. Most Spaniards are Christians through and through, strong believers and they were hit yesterday. Just because we believe, pray or go to church doesn't mean we're going to be safe. Wrong assumption. We have to take on some personal responsibility here and presume the risk. Steve, I believe you sound frustrated because so many people brush this all off as a low threat. Beer doesn't, I don't, don't think Dolphin does. Some of us agree with you.

As I have said many, many times beforee, ladies and gentlemen, this is a war between a 7th Century, patriarchal Eastern satrapy and Western Civilization as we have come to know it.

Our enemy had NO Renaissance, no Reformation as we had; they have not progressed any further than the brutality and tribal structure that the West has not seen since the days of Charlemagne.

Most importantly, they can NOT be negotiated with...they can not be appeased, mollified, or expected to come to any semblance of a reasonable agreement. THEY WANT US DEAD...ALL OF US, who do not, or will not accept their sick, anachronistic ideology. Which means, folks, most of what we see as the civilized world.

Expect more death, more body bags, more devastation...but let us not decide to leave the rest of the world to their mercies, while we hide within out ever-too-porous borders in hopes of weathering out the firestorm. It won't happen, people.

AGAIN, for emphasis; THEY WON'T STOP...NEITHER SHOULD WE.

I heard on the news yesterday, that Al Qaeda has been 90% ready for an attack on us in the last two or so years.

No I just choose to not worry about things that aren't in my control.

UMMMM. I said I have faith in God. Meaning if I die in a terror attack...thats his plan. I never said it wasn't going to happen it's possible and so is winning the lottery or getting hit by a bus. I just feel if it does. My time has come. BTW I still think targets abroad are more likely. I guess I just choose to live and enjoy my life rather than wait for it to end. :)

I'm not one to brush it off. I am aware and follow the news closely. However, I don't live in fear.

Also, I may have missed some comments but generally speaking, I don't think most Christians believe that the Lord will save them from an attack. I think they're just not scared to die because they know they'll be going to a better place. ;)

Here in Puerto Rico the ports and all airports including the international one at San Juan has raised it's level of security today after the Spain bombings.Puerto Rico is a middle place to travel from South America,Central America and from here many US domestic flights depart to many US cities and the cruises that do the 7 day journey has San Juan as a main stop and because somebody can sneak into the US by traveling thru PR is why security has been increased.
