Uh like none of this happened when the dumpster bombs went off in Chelsea last year. They closed the streets for the investigation and to look for more bombs but it wasn't even close to a "lockdown of all public buildings", I'm pretty sure they just halted traffic. You could even - yes- walk around the area where the bomb went off the next day. It was a block from my office.

I agree that we're a bunch of nervous Nellies these days, quivering in thrall to an overgrown police-military-industrial complex. But I'd probably draw the line at continuing to show the movie after a bomb goes off in the theater, as described in the article.
