Mayor of New York declared that he had a "specific" information that
terrorists from Iraq were coming to attack New York metro.  He had the
date of attack, but not the names or photos of people who were coming.
He proudly declared that he would still take metro to go to work and so
would do his children.  Now, if city boss tells you that he is taking
metro to go to work, you can take it too, because there is no
"specific" threat, there is no threat of any kind.  He is just playing
a spectacle to achieve 2 goals: to show himself a hero and to show
population that he cares.

Those goals achieved, police presence can be ended, and so it did,
which proves the point that there has never been any threat.  If there
was one, the terrorists certainly could have waited couple of days.
After all, the day of attack can be moved to another date.
