#5 It's not AQ I'm worried about so much as inadvertently straying between the leading edge of the horde of shoppers and the mall's parking lot or entrance after Thanksgiving.

#6 About 30 years ago, "psychic" Jeanne Dixon allegedly predicted a mall in upstate NY would collapse before Christmas, killing hundreds.

She hadn't; it didn't; but the rubes stayed away in droves anyway, causing real economic consequences.

I certainly hope people use common sense precautions but don't sacrifice the economy to al Qaeda's ability to inspire fear.

#7 al Qaeda would like to strike shopping malls during the holiday shopping season

Not the same thing as "plans to" but the info needs to be shared nonetheless.

#8 Vicious rumor spread by unscrupulous rogue traders to boost Amazon, Fedex, and UPS stock prices.

#9 Doc, no need to invoke a conspiracy, when ineptitude and incompetence suffices.

I see it more as a FBI CYA moment than anything else.

#10 Hey, with thousands of dedicated and highly skilled Mall Cops on the job, what're we worried about?

#11 Are you talking about the Mall Safety Agency?

#12 If they do hit a mall, or several, the ME should expect quick and brutal retaliation from our military and intelligence agencies.

The dhimocrats will blame Bush.

#14 The Bosnian jihadi that went on a shooting spree in that cute little mall in a Utah(?) suburb not so long ago was stopped and killed by an off duty policeman with concealed carry rights. All y'all who have concealed carry permits, please carry when you go shopping, and pass the word. The problem will quickly become self regulating.

#18 Personally, I'm more concerned about Aqua Dots than al Qaeda. AQ would like to hurt us economically and they think all they have to do is make a threat to do some damage. That makes me want to go shopping. But when I can't find anything at the mall that isn't made in China it makes me want to go back home.

#19 Last week a couple of robbers hit a convenience store here, the clerk reached down and pulled out a sawed off (Handle) M-1, the two crooks ran like hell, all on video. (Laughed like hell when it showed on the news).
