Most of downtown Cleveland is being evacuated as well. The mayor here says
that a plane that was reportedly hijacked was held here in a secured area of
the airport. The plane has been evacuated and security experts are
searching the plane now. Another plane that was also reported as being a
potential hijacking victim was turned away from our airspace and supposedly
was over Toledo at last notice. I think most major cities out there are
evacuating their downtowns and mobilizing their emergency personnel.

I agree, but short of martial law, (ever been to Guatemala?) what can you
do? Freedom comes at a price. I don't mean to get into an Ayn Rand-ian
argument with anyone, because it all comes down to a matter of degree. The
price today is more expensive and dear than most were ready to pay.
A side note:
Downtown Kansas City is currently blocked off in certain areas. Government
buildings are being evacuated. How much will this cost the U.S. and other
nations in "downtime"?

I hate to be callous, but the only thing that has changed is public
perception.
People have been pointing out how vulnerable a crowded city is to any kind
of attack or disaster for decades.
People have been pointing out how vulnerable the USA is to terrorist
attack for at least twenty years.
No analyst in this field would be surprised that this occurred.
