Today's Oslo bombing has me thinking of 9/11, and the fact that the 10th anniversary of said is approaching.
As terrorists are fond of marking such events, do you think people in America or other countries should be worried about a possible attack? Are you worried? Will you alter your plans on that day?

The first 9/11 was a date picked for an aniversary.

Terrorists love dates, the faux symbolism in numbers makes them think they are doing magical stuff rather than barbaric pointless shiot .

Same here. Don't change your behavior patterns and cower behind an sprawling, intrusive security apparatus, even for a security blanket, otherwise the terrorists win.
