Would you be concerned about anything (terror wise)
if your 17 year old daughter was going to spend the first week of June in NYC?
Something about it is bothering me....I just can't put a finger on it.

1. All I can say to you is that my 16-year-old daughter
just came back from a day trip to Manhattan (Central Park Zoo, lunch, play) and had a terrific time with fellow students and two teachers.

3. I just get nervous cause we know * doesn't like that

I'm expecting a LIHOP or MIHOP in the near future.

4. Something I've learned
is to always trust your intuition. It doesn't lie to you. In the past I didn't listen to mine but I ended up kicking myself in the butt. Of course if you're daughter is seventeen you're still her legal guardian. I would heed warning to your feelings and keep an eye on the news for anything. I'd let her still go but have a backup plan and have her keep in touch with you and have a line open for her to call (like a cell phone or something).

5. Maybe you are connecting
June with what has been said about an attack on Iran? NYC is a wonderful, exciting and safe place to visit.

6. Was sort of concerned about my dad and brother going to Russia with this
possible Iran war and terror stuff. Hope I could say I like the US and Russia and also distrust their various Presidents.

7. My only fear would be....
That a pilot in a Cessna would get lost, fly too close to something, and in the government directed panic she might be trampled in the stampede.

9. Don't worry too much about it. Please read if you have the time:
There are simply too many X factors to worry about to even bother trying. Your son or daughter is more likely to die in a car accident than if somebody happened to slam the plane your son or daughter is in into an office tower or blow it up in the air Lockerbie-style.

If your end or the end of people you know must come, then pray to God that the end will come quick with as little suffering as possible. There is no excuse to live a life in terror. That's not the point in life, and I don't think anyone would say that is the reason you were put here on earth either.

I'm not saying to live life as if nothing is happening. If you or someone you know sees something funny, of course report it or do something about it, but otherwise, there isn't much an individual can do. If your instincts or intuition feels off, it is still absolutely your choice to take that into consideration.

10. They won't hit NYC again.
Next place will be the WH, Congress, Statue of Liberty, etc. The BFEE will need a more symbolic target next time, people won't be so easily fooled twice.
