How will the Boston bombing affect your traveling? Probably it won't be any more of a hassle then it is (or isn't) now.
Has anyone noticed what I've noticed? When 9/11 happened there was shock, outrage, fear, and fury. I don't seem to be seeing that much now, at least on the same scale. Not quite, but almost a quiet "what again?" reaction. Are we getting hard to this stuff? I wonder.
I'll tell you, it's going to take some hard detective work to find this maniac. Best of luck to them! Maybe they'll get a lucky break.
As long as you have your luggage in your possession, you probably won't have any problems. Anxiety will be heightened, but methinks most folks have a fairly reasonable attitude.
If you leave your backpack unattended somewhere, though, I'd expect some issues. If there's one thing that a lot of these incidents have in common, that's it.
As the posters say - if you see something, say something. Just try to avoid paranoia.

Bonas My first impression is that I use Amtrak a lot which puts me in the middle of Downtowns and if there is something going on downtown I can expect a lot of delays by being forced to open and reopen my backpacks and luggage as I tranfers between modes of public transport...anyone else?...There goes my privacy

It must be awful to have to unzip that backpack all the time, I can't even image the turmoil you will have to go through.

When it comes to travel our civil rights are long gone. The Federal Government is even unable to stop its own people from stealing from the luggage that goes on planes. However, so far there have been no extensive searches outside of planes. In Israel, where there are even armored public buses, they have not found a good way to search people on public transit.
