Willcan. <How would you handle the news of that article??

- especially if there MAY be a certain part of the threats that could be true --- Quite scary IMHO!!!>

Quite so. And not trying to be macho in my response. But, each of us has to find an individual approach - that works for us - to keep emotion out of equation. Not much worthwhile thinking is going to occur once feelings of fear and panic take hold. And, of course, that's what terrorism is all about. Once they get inside your head, they've got an important edge.

Knowing that, have to assume that there are scare stories being floated for precisely that purpose. And that they are perhaps 70 to 80% exaggeration. AFA the remaining 20 to 30% that could be a credible threat to us?

A good way to take Mr Worry out of the game is to consider what you would feel comfortable doing to increase your personal and family security. It doesn't necessarily mean making drastic changes. Perhaps a good analogy would be to taking a standardized test. Tackle the easy questions first.

Basically common sense stuff that can be done without requiring a great deal of time, effort or expense. It's really impossible to go beyond such generalizations as what's appropriate and practical will vary a great deal for each of us, depending upon where we live, how we make a living, AWA how liquid and accessable our assets are.

Really don't feel comfortable giving any advice beyond that.
