Doug, if someone told you that your odds of being struck by lightning had
just tripled, would you stop going outside?  Flying is still safer than
crossing the street, and it strikes me as nonsensical to cancel a
DXpedition because of what was done in NYC and Washington.

IMO, the most patriotic thing you can do is get on with your life.
