No offense intended Jill... And I'm not in either category... panic, or denial.. I'm in a category known as determined and accepting of the risk.. Everyday life is perilous... 50,000 people dying from drunken drivers... Tylenol poisonings... People finding p*nis shaped mold in their energy drinks... etc.. Road rage, drive by shootings.. etc, etc.. This is just another of any number of risks associated with living and breathing on a daily basis. But with the caveat that, as a friend of mine who was 75 meters from the Pentagon crash apted stated, "these guys are really trying to kill us"... But that said, we're really trying to kill them first. Hawk

>>High Anxiety or Denial of Risk...<< Yes, there is a balance between the two. Like buying a sensible supply of bottled water, extra batteries for battery=-operated radios and flashlights, jars of peanut butter, canned baked beans, vitamin pills and the like. I'm sure one cauld even find a variety of lists of necessities for survival depending upon one's income level and food tastes. Zabars or Safeway? And then going about one's business as normally as possible. One has done all he or she can, perhaps, to be prudent--outside of pulling up stakes and leaving so-called "target-rich' areas for the plains of the Midwest. But then, there is the crop-dusting threat.
