WTF? The NY Palace Hotel hasn't had a terror attack since Leona went paws up.

Another reason to increase homeland security funding to Wyoming. Do you realize how many Super 8 Motel's are in Wyoming?

I knew it from the start. Trump's Soho hotel building is a front for terrorist activities. Longer stays equal more terrorists living the high life while waiting to meet their virgins.

...train their staffs to be more suspicious of people loitering in lobbies and on guest floors, and of guests who book rooms for unusually long stays. Yes, look for things NOT done by the Bombay attackers.

"their staffs to be more suspicious of people loitering..." Just great. Five guys jump out of a van with bullet proof vests carrying AK47's and backpacks filled with explosives. What is the staff going to do, call the desk to tell them they should expect some guests who didn't make reservations?

How about making everyone entering hotels or venues with large crowds eat a pork chop before allowed in?

I've noticed the Times Square Hilton has many more security guards at their entrance since the Mumbai attack, and they check the undercarriage of every car entering the driveway with one of those mirrors on wheels.

Hilarious! Just hotels... and by hotels they mean: Not the subway, supermarkets, shopping centers, parks, movie theaters, schools, hospitals, day-care centers, nursing homes, apartment buildings, bridges, historical landmarks, museums, skyscrapers, airports, passenger ships, freight ships, trains and most of all generally the street, urban war is the easiest for the enemy— What a fucking joke! Listen people, take it from other nations with repeated terror related issues, if these "freedom fighters" a.k.a. terrorists want to attack, they will, the difference between us and them, they're not afraid to die and they have nothing to lose. The problem with these blanket warnings is that at this point, what can we take seriously, most threats have been unsubstantiated.
