I'd be pretty upset if the tech people or remote hands weren't at their job Chances are the "tech people or remote hands" were on the job. Again, this wasn't martial law, folks that had reason to be out and about were out and about. If a colo felt it was important for staff to be on hand, there were likely staff on hand.

The point is that many people are planning many things on that particular day. Maybe a particular student had an interview planned with admissions at a college and had no way to reschedule (parent took them, had to be back). And they would have made a good enough impression to get admitted to the school? Maybe someone had a wedding planned (could have been a weekend just as easily, right?) that evening or a charity event and had paid deposits and had guests in transit and people didn't show up at the caterer. Who covers all these loses from a suggestion like this? Forget whether these examples (as with the colo one) which are arbitrary mean anything to you in particular or matter at all to you. I don't care at all about sports but I can understand a child being disappointed when he is supposed to go to a game with his father on a particular evening. (My point is not the merits of the downside I am presenting but rather whether it makes a difference to me vs. the child who misses the game). "If a colo felt it was important for staff to be on hand, there were likely staff on hand." I don't think you can assume that the employees at the colo would agree to show up just like that, that they wouldn't have pressure to not go (from spouses) or that they wouldn't have to cover for a spouse that worked at another job (say medicine or law enforcement). The point is much resources were dedicated to catching this one individual (even the deployment of so many "assets" without respect to the impact it had on anyone at all. Is the same concentrated deployment of assets being done in cities such as Camden, Newark, Detroit with high murder rates and daily crime?)

  Maybe a particular student had an interview planned with admissions at a college and had no way to reschedule (parent took them, had to be back). And they would have made a good enough impression to get admitted to the school? Shit happens. In this case it was a manhunt, but it could easily have been a highway accident, gas main break, flood or snowstorm that caused a student to miss an interview. I don't see your point. I don't care at all about sports but I can understand a child being disappointed when he is supposed to go to a game with his father on a particular evening. This has happened to my biz partner who promised to take his son to BoSox games and then had to cancel because of work. Kids gets over it. I don't think you can assume that the employees at the colo would agree to show up just like that, that they wouldn't have pressure to not go (from spouses) The same pressure could have been applied if the bomber wasn't caught, although over multiple days instead of just one. Is the same concentrated deployment of assets being done in cities such as Camden, Newark, Detroit with high murder rates and daily crime? As I mentioned in another post in this thread, yes you do see deployment of resources and police asking citizens to stay indoors when chasing armed suspects/gang suspects who have killed innocents. The search areas tend to be smaller and the deployment not as extreme, but then again the threats tend to be proportionally smaller (1-2 guys with handguns vs 1-2 guys with automatic weapons and explosives). I live in a high-crime city and have seen it happen first hand.
