I skipped out in 2005, but I'll raise my hand for that statement anyways.
Atlanta is one of the nicest cities I have traveled to (With FIRST or anytime else), and this does not change my opinion at all.
MY personal thoughts on this..
Q: Concerned?
A: Of course.. Life is crazy in a big city such as Atlanta.
Q: Concerned this will happen again next week?
A: No.
Q: Worried?
A: Not at all. If something happens, it happens. Acting rational and staying cool is your best bet in any crazy situation.
Q: Will this change any of my plans for this upcoming event?
A: Seriously.. how would you prepare or predict something like that? I'll still go have a bite to eat in the CNN center food court, go see friends who are staying at the Omni, and while I'm sure we'll see an increased security presence (more than usual for Atlanta anyways) I'm not going to do anything different than I was expecting to do the day before I heard this incident... Except to be aware of my surroundings at all times which everyone should do anyways when traveling to a large city.
My point is.. to me this is a non-issue.
To the people who may overreact to this situation:
I hope no schools cancel the trips of their schools at the last minute because of this.
That would just suck.
