Well, looks like my subway ride will be fun:

New York authorities stepped up security across the city on Thursday after what officials described as a specific and credible threat of a terrorist attack on the subway system in the coming days.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the FBI had alerted him to “a specific threat to our subway system,” which had come from overseas but had already been partially thwarted, while some officials cast doubt on the credibility of the threat.

This is so much damned if you do, damed if you don’t. I have to ride the subway (or take the bus), so here’s to hoping that the NYPD and the Feds kick some butt.
