"...it's the environment we're in, frankly."

"If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they've got to be particularly careful," Johnson said. "There will be enhanced security there, but public vigilance, public awareness and public caution in situations like this is particularly important, and it's the environment we're in, frankly."

Apparently we should just accept the fact that we now need to be extra vigilante when we go about our day. Or is this just a political statement...?:

Johnson also said the latest threats highlight the "reason why I need a budget."

 But rest assured, we have a plan:

"No one should avoid going to the mall because of this random online threat," the official said. "The FBI has a program to work with various malls around the country to improve security."
