QUOTE:

NEW YORK--Although he was my lunch guest, John Fiordaliso quickly usurped
my responsibilities as host. He urged me out of the elevator first so that
he could keep an eye on me. Before glancing at the menu, he checked out
the location of the exit doors. And he assured me that as soon as the
shooting started, he would throw himself across the table, pull me to the
floor, then drag me a yard or so behind the stone columns, which would
offer protection from bullets.

...

An attack could come from one of several classes of adversaries: a
disgruntled employee, an animal rights or antiglobalization activist, a
kidnapper, a mentally disturbed family member or associate, or, of course,
a terrorist.
