I must admit I do feel apprehensive about going. I went twice this year, but with the riots in sydney I feel this makes us more of a target. As to security, as some of you have noticed some doors are guarded and checked but there are other doors wide open in some of the shopping centres. I stayed at the ramayana and felt ok until somebody pointed out to me that most hotels have underground car parks. It hit me that there would be the perfect place to put a bomb. I became quite paranoid and double checked the entrance every time I went past. Silly me knowing how the locals are so casual about everything one of them would only have to make a pit stop then somebody could walk or drive in.
