"The security that America gave us, that sense of impenetrability, is gone," says Renato Pellizzari, a 44-year-old owner of a cappuccino bar in northwest Rome. "If it can happen to the U.S., it can happen anywhere," agrees Donell Ali, a 22-year-old station assistant for the London Underground. "I'm not scared of the I.R.A., but I'm concerned about safety now." Ali recognizes similar fears among the Underground's riders...
Argenbright is the largest U.S. provider of airport security, with 19,000 employees managing 40% of the passenger screeners used by U.S. airlines. It has expanded despite a mud-stained record.

The official said Taliban soldiers stranded in Kunduz and further east in Taloqan have been cut off from fresh supplies.
