Here's an example of how unsecure our cities are:
Two weeks ago, I was in an unnamed East Coast city located just west of Long Island. I was attending a conference and took a commuter train into said city.
Without any difficulty, I boarded the train with a bag filled with a combustable substance (papers).
Now, it would have been just as easy to have carried some anthrax or plutoneum or sarin along with my papers, however, I had no need for these substances at my conference.
But I could have...and that was scary.
