I feel like I should be doing something

I snap this blurry pic and never stopped walking as I entered Grand Central. You can barely tell there is a TV camera man taping the cops at the random search station. You have to look really close, he is standing by the cop furthest away. I noticed the heightened security but though nothing of it. It seems to happen randomly and I guess when they have a tip of some thwarted plot of some sort. It wasn't till I was in my car after getting off the train that I hear about the bombs at the Boston Marathon. A former co-worker of mine, a photographer ran this year and finished 3 minutes before the bomb when off and is sending pic to the paper via his iPhone. I checked his FB status as soon as I arrived home. It is strange. I feel rather helpless. When working at the newspaper at times like this I would be too focused on graphics to feel helpless.—NY
