It's part of the reason I quit taking the c-train to and from work on a regular basis. Crowded trains that make a lot of stops and you can't get out and no security. Scary.

Canada has a growing problem of home-grown extremism. Libya and Algeria are reminders of that. And the fact that we have seen many different creeds and colors of Canadian extremists fighting abroad means the problem isn't isolated to pockets of Canadian communities. I would venture to argue those who are from middle-class families and live an unassuming life are the most slippery and difficult to detect.
Not sure avoiding the train because of a potential terrorist attack is the best course of action though. While common sense should prevail, you can't live your life in constant fear. You should be more worried about lightning hitting you - chances are greater of that happening.
