Poll question: UK Terror Plot and your job: Are your coworkers concerned?
Anyone at your job talking about the UK terror plot? Do they seemed worried about "terror" or is it business as usual? Are they talking more about the Lebanon/Israeli conflict than UK?

2. Not much worry; mostly annoyance at the new "security" rules.

3. Considering how many people at work travel -
It's half a big joke and half grumbling over the inconvienence. Most of us spend out time figuring out how to cause terror on flights, anyway - too many retired military.

4. Full day of meetings yesterday,
full day of visiting today. The issue never came up. Not once. Don't know what to make of that, but there you are.

there's this air of "please not this bullshit again" sorth of thinking. It is more an inconvenience than a concern. My coworkers seem more concerned with the I/L conflict. One of my coworkers' family still lives in Beirut.

7. 1 security guard
Had a delivery for Churchill Downs. All the security guard at the gatehouse talked about was liquid explosives. Some thoughts on security at the airport where i also make deliveries ... that i'd best keep to myself. Sad isn't it that I started to post some casual observations but thought better of it. Can you you say free speech. I didn't think so.

8. As I was leaving work Friday morning,
Our security was out hot and heavy in the lobby. They check our carry out bags for any stolen items. Two were checking the bags as three were standing around watching. I wonder how long this will be going on?
