i have to say that in SC, when the terror alert was raised, nobody knew or cared in any meaningful way...
in manhattan...totally different story. I went to Grand central the first week i was here and everything was open and only regular police were around with regular guns...I went a couple days ago and it looked like a military base with so many reserve guards around with machine guns looking on menacingly at the crowds. I was not allowed in certain areas to take pics and it was quite a different story than the first time. Downtown in the financial district, it's the same thing, guards everywhere, etc.
I don't think the rest of the country changes as much during the heightened alerts, but it definitely makes a difference here...
On the other hand, i talk to the newyorkers and they don't feel any safer on the whole.
