I'm writing this from on board the uptown E train, which started at the World Trade Center station and is heading toward my office in midtown Manhattan. This is the same subway I rode on the morning of September 11, 2001.

Apparently, Al Qaeda would prefer that I be too scared to ride this train today

Well, consider this a big, old fashioned !#*@(' Off, Al Qaeda. Take your terror threats someplace where people care, OK? It's our subway, and we know better than to run scared from the likes of you

There's my stop - I gotta go. You lose this round, guys...
