Yes, I do. However authorities have a responsibility to notify the public when terrorist organizations plan attacks and they are aware of it. It does look like the "killing the economy" may be a part of their plan though. Of course, even if everyone stays away from all of the major city's restaurants and malls there is still the internet for purchasing... (until they manage to destroy that) :o)
