Breaking news alerts would be sent to phones around the world. "Bombing at New York theater ... Multiple casualties ... DEVELOPING." The Survivalists out in the Dakotas start loading up their weapons with ammo and standing watch on their properties for looters. Twitter is going nuts. Total lockdown at all public buildings in the Northeast US. Etc etc.

They closed the streets for the investigation and to look for more bombs but it wasn't even close to a "lockdown of all public buildings", I'm pretty sure they just halted traffic. You could even - yes- walk around the area where the bomb went off the next day. It was a block from my office.
