pretty soon this will be like the boy who cried wolf (if it isn't already) and nobody will care about these terror alerts So what is your alternative? No alerts at all?

I understand the cry wolf scenario but unfortunately the government is in a situation where if they don't announce it and something happens they will be held accountable. In the normal course of business I spoke with two citibank employees today (@ the wall st office versus the citibank building) and they are pretty concerned. The alerts actually heighten awareness. As one who ofter takes the train into the City (around 15x /yr) I regularly look @ other passengers and after Madrid will not be happy seeing gym bags.
