Car Bomb Fail

From May 3rd


Back to back New York City posts?  Whaaat?  I mean I know these posts come from the New Times Time but as a New Englander I try to keep my posts broader than just New York City.  This article was just to good to pass up though. 
In case terrorists haven't noticed, their is a ton of security in New York City.  Like you guys haven't blown anything up in the Big Apple since 9/11.  You've tried, and tried, and nothing works and if the Christmas Bomber didn't succeed  than why would a smoking Nissan SUV with a bomb in it?  I mean the car was smoking.  Police in Iraq would've caught this guy!
This just goes to show that terrorists have a long way to go before they outsmart the NYC Police Department.  These are probably the best police officers in the world.  Their going to notice the sketchy Nissan SUV that's smoking.  Their going to find the bomb, the fireworks, the weird clocks; they've seen it all.
This article wasn't about that though.  This article was about how New Yorkers live on the edge of their seats waiting for another successful terrorist attack.  I understand their fears, I remember 9/11, I was scared my house was going to get bombed and I live in the middle of nowhere.  If a terrorist bombed my house they wouldn't even harm my neighbors.  I can understand why they're scared and that people in New York are fearful in general right now but the NYC PD is not going to let some terrorist bomb New York unless they come up with a much better plan.
