Would we be able to travel freely in the US if this blows into a full-fledge war? There is probably many more problems that could be caused by a war then any of us could imagine... Wars cause recession, a big money-gobbling, resource using event like FIRST could not be tolorated in a time of such need... So I really hope it doesn't happen...

If there is a war, there is a good possibility of the draft.
Wars actually stimulate the economy in the short-term. Long-term, unless the war is over soon, its not as good for the economy.
Currently ANY airplane that goes over Washington D.C. or NYC within a 25 mile radius will be blown out the sky by combat patrols.
