Terrorists seem to be targeting our transportation systems recently. The Mumbai, the Madrid and the London bombings are perfect examples
But what would you do to protect yourself?
How would you protect yourself?
I haven't really done anything different I know some friends that this has only increased their racial profiling. But for me I don't care if your white, arab, asian, blue or purple. You leave something suspicious on the train or appear sketchy I'm getting off at the next stop.
If my life or my kids life is in danger I don't think there would be anything to stop me from getting rid of that threat.
What about you Hero or Coward? |

| That's what I love about this board. Where else would you come across somebody trying to tie in a Hero Sandwich with Noel Coward? Can't beat that. |

Years ago a friend was working in London's theatre district. Said there was a busload of Japanese businessmen who stomped out in the middle of a show, mystified & miffed. Seems their English-challenged tour guide thought she'd booked 50-odd seats for "Oh! Calcutta!" (sex-related sketches having zero to do with India or Calcutta, featuring male & female full nudity, and written by Samuel Beckett, John Lennon, Sam Shepard, Edna O'Brien, Jules Feiffer, yada yada) -- turns out she'd bought them all tickets to "Oh, Coward!", a (fully clothed) musical revue/bio on the life & times of Noel Coward.

The best thing to do is carry on with your life as normal.
Terrorism is sadly a fact of modern life and something we should be aware of,but not let affect us. |

This is an American study so the figures will not be accurate for Korea but you get the idea.
N.B. Likely to be an even greater chance that youll be killed/injured in a road traffic accident, considering Korea has such a high incidence of these relative to other countries. |

I'd be a snivelling, spineless coward who'd be the first to run away.
Unless BoA were in danger, in which case I'd smother a SARS-infected, shrapnel-laden semtex bomb's explosion with my body. |
