Well, I have often said, the threat can be better than the execution. Just by simply threatening such activities, security experts are forced to expend at least some brain waves to detecting whether or not the threat is real. So, in a sense, its a cheap win for terror. We must, by some course of due care, at least be wary of the situation. This removes our attention to some degree from daily pressures, and indeed becomes an impact. If I were one of these terrorist fools, I would cry would just enough time for the public to decide that every notice was a hoax and ignore it... then actually deliver on the promise.
