Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on December 27 that "the system worked" after Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to ignite a bomb aboard a Northwest Airlines airplane on Christmas Day. She latter had to clarify that statement. She continues to affirm that the people who live and work in New York City will be protected when terrorist Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, goes on trial sometime in 2010.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly assures all that his department is up to the job of protecting New York City during the trial of Mr. Mohammed, after a van with tinted windows and no license plate was recently left on a street near Time Square unattended for at least two days.
I believe them when they say they can protect us. I believe them because I’m an idiot, but you shouldn’t.
Happy New Year,

On May 1, 2010 a SUV with three propane tanks, two gasoline containers and some heavy duty firecrackers in it was set on fire at near Times Square. It could have exploded. It didn't, and they were very lucky.
