I don't know about anyone else, but in the last year or so I've reverted back into my comfy little world. Placing terrorists out in left field, going about my daily activities.
When something like an orchestrated attack happens, it can jar you back to reality mighty quick. What would happen if these attacks were happening on our soil. Look what happened after 9/11. Airline and supporting industries laying of thousands. It had a ripple effect. Lately though, things have been improving, slow but steady growth. An attack on us would give us a serious slam dunk.
Gets you to thinking again about being prepared for whatever. Hopefully you wouldn't need those extra provisions, but as the saying goes "when the time for action has come, the time for planning is past".
