Peter Ulrich from RMS was interviewed about the terrorism risk outlook for U.S. cities. The article mentions that "After New York and Washington, the firm [RMS] considers San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago to be most at risk. But cities have moved up and down the spectrum ever since RMS released its first list in 2002. For instance, Miami moved up the ladder based on intelligence and credible threats that were noted by then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. Yet Seattle moved down. It was once considered to be more at risk than it is now...it moved in the opposite direction, again, based on new intelligence."
