It’s okay to be cranky; it’s probably all that pollen in the air this time of year. I’m feeling that way too. ;-)

Am I completely out to lunch to think that by the time a suicide bomber is cruising NY Harbor in a boat carrying enough explosives to do significant structural damage at a distance of 150 yards, we have had a national security failure of a magnitude that a 400-yard security zone around the Statue of Liberty is probably not going to defuse?

don’t know why I’m feeling so cranky about this when I’m hardly seen in the upper harbor these days. Just seems like it’s gonna lessen a lot of people’s New York experiences without a whole lot of payoff securitywise.
