Hell no I'm not living every day in constant fear of being blown up. I'm also not spending my time being ultra suspicious of everyone I see. If I notice a guy walk up drop a backpack and walk away I'll call someone but spending my time 'suspect and vigilant' is simply not how I want to spend my life.

Heights, my take on things is that terrorism has been steadily declining in the US since 9/11. To say we need to be more suspect and vigilant now is an overreaction based on anecdotal evidence. We should probably worry more about gun deaths or lightning strikes (in 2011, 26 people in the US were killed by lightning.)
If you don't believe me here's an article - http://www.thenation.com/blog/173876/ ... ston-terror-all-time-low# However, I do agree with you in wishing everyone would act like it was the day after 9/11, I felt like I was in a caring community instead of a suspicious one. Quote:

The Boston Marathon Bombing: Keep Calm and Carry On. Refuse to be terrorized.
That's my approach to life now and was also the same after 9/11. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/a ... calm-and-carry-on/275014/

It's time to be less politicaly correct and more suspect and vigilant. Let's act like everyday is the day after 9-11(remember that day). This can now happen at any place, any time, and from anyone.

"Should I be freaking out and calling the cops over ever box and bag and garbage can I see around town?" actually, if it's in a high traffic area and it looks like it is out of place, yes.

Who reported a 'stupid ream of paper'? No one. And in the wake of the three persons killed the day before yesterday in Boston, you should shut up.

Seriously. Be reasonable, there's no need to report every stupid ream of paper you see lying around.

Of course one should always be safe and cautious but that doesn't mean.....getting rid of all common sense. I can only imagine how many, many thousands of dollars just went up in smoke because of this.

That doesn't mean you should ignore something that may seem suspicious if you see it.

Because an almost always empty Staples would be a prime target or because the complacent staff wanted an afternoon off.
