If I worked at any of the places that were mentioned in that report - there is no way I would be going into work on Monday.
No job is worth risking your life for.
I'm sure that those institutions will be doing some "quick hiring" come next week, to replace scared ex-staff.

The front of the New York Daily News website - under breaking news - gives you some indication of what its like after the press conference today.

Would you feel safe in this building?:
NEWARK — Police set up metal fences surrounding the Prudential Plaza building, blocked off two city streets, and armed themselves with assault rifles Sunday after federal authorities warned of a possible terrorist attack on it and other financial institutions.
State officials said the plan that was uncovered included dates and details of the office building in the middle of the city’s downtown.
But this woman is skeptical:
Kristin White, 23, a Seton Hall Law School student from Houston, said the weapons and the police presence were the things that made her “very nervous.” She said she did not take the terror threat seriously. “I don’t feel threatened at all because I don’t trust the reliability of these threats. I don’t trust the reliability of these sources and I don’t know if I trust the message or the messenger,” she said. “Is this a hoax by the government? Is there some other intent?”
