There is no logic in the worry about the NYC Trials!!!
 I must be missing something in the worry about holding the trials in New York?

Is the worry another 9/11 type terrorist attack? If so, it really make no logical sense. So people think the terrorists can do an attack anytime they want and just need a reason to do one? So the terrorists are sitting around with a great idea for an attack on NYC but just need a reason to do it. So the trial will be a good enough reason, so they will do it then.

Don't you think if the terrorists had a terror attack ready to launch they would do it now anyway? Why wait for the trial? During the trial the city will be excepting something so security would be higher. Why not just do it now and catch them off guard?

Also, they are talking about the expense. If the city needs to spend money to get ready to prevent a terror attack then does that mean they are vulnerable to an attack all the other days when there is not a trial? I really don't know why you need extra security to put ONE MAN on trial. Does he have super powers or something?

So it comes down to this....

-Is NYC unprepared for a terror attack? If so, fix that problem regardless of the trial!
-Can the terrorists pull off a major attack any time they want, but are just waiting for the trial? I seriously doubt it or we would have them all the time. They would not wait. They have enough reasons to hate us regardless of the trials.

If I am missing something please let me know.
 


The Mayor of NYC says it will take $200 million a year for security, plus most of the island will have to be...'locked down'.
The city will be a huge target and any attack on the city would be a success for the terrorists.

Brand new posting- sure to go loonie.

Some of the other posters over there try to explain about daily living in the big city to this podunk.  She keeps coming back with "I don't understand, I don't understand."

I don't think it substantially changes the chances that the city will be a target, but if I was one of the poor bastards living or working within half a mile of the place, I'd be completely livid about how much it was going to screw up my life for the next 3-5 years.
