It often is.
Thinking of the old contingency theory of modeling disaster so as to be able
to cope with it. Maybe in some way we have already accepted the next attack,

PS: Today in midtown I passed several contingents of cops in body armor,
toting M-16s. Turned the corner onto Broadway, and -- surprise!-- heavily armed
troops holding court. Can't recall ever having seen that many M-16s in one
place. Obviously posted there as some form of public reassurance. But
reassurance
of what? You can't shoot a cloud of anthrax or radioactive particles. Well,
okay, you can shoot the cloud, but it doesn't help much.
