They did similar things for 1999's New Years and the one right after 9/11. Nothing happened...but you know what. I'm glad that nothing happened 
On the other hand...they're really pushing their security measures in those specific spots. If I was a terrorist and wanted to really shake things up, I certainly wouldn't be bombing Times Square or the stadium... any target within viewing distance of those places that goes BOOM will cause terror and a human stampede in Times Square... bomb an office on the 30th floor of the Empire State building. Make it a loud, flashy explosion on the side facing Times Square and watch people trample each other to death running away from an attack 10 miles away.
Hit a hospital, hit a church...minimal loss of life...maximum terror caused. People start to feel that they can't be protected.
Airplanes too guarded, derail a few trains.
Airports feel like prisons with armed guards, bomb a bus terminal,
people protecting the White House, bomb the UN building. etc...
The USA is a very big place and can't be guarded every day, everywhere. Terrorism is too easy. Thank God it hasn't happened since 9/11. With the terror caused by a sniper and his teenage ally over a few weeks period, I wouldn't want to imagine the terror caused by 10-20 suicide car bombers in different states during a one-month period. Think Israel on a HUGE scale.

It's a building, with lots of people in it, well known and affect not only the USA but the rest of the world as well. Good target. No comment beyond that.

My coworkers brother is a Port Authority cop and he said they're posting machine gunners on the top of the George Washington bridge. I've never had an urge to take a trip in to Times Square on New Year's Eve, much less now. They're all freakin crazy. I'm going to bed in like 15 minutes.
Hoon, you live in NY? Where are you?
