Times Square Crowds for New Years Eve

Here's an interesting tidbit.

AOL is reporting that there will be record-breaking crowds in Times Square this evening to ring in 2007.

What I find really interesting is that a year ago revelers were warned about potential "terror" attacks in Times Square. In fact a year ago we were warned about potential terror attacks every time we stepped outside, a few times when we stayed inside.

But this year there is no mention of heightened fear factors or anything else. I guess there must have been an election in the last few months and thats why the terror fear factor has subsided? But we can be assurred that 365 days from tonight the terror fear will be back and probably at a fevered pitch.
