Jersey Terror

It looks like we dodged a bullet, to cop a cliche. Six Islamic radicals were considering a terrorist attack at various sites in Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey - including a strike at the annual Army-Navy game in Philadelphia (shades of Black Sunday!) - before settling on Fort Dix. Fort Dix, a training facility at the end of State Route 68 just south of Trenton, has always been best known as a punchline of sorts in sitcoms, but now no one is laughing. Terrorist attacks don't have to happen in Washington, Los Angeles, or New York City.
They can happen anywhere in America.
Given that so many terrorists have been caught in New Jersey, I think I'd feel safer in Manhattan. :-O
