Have Londoners become blase?

I live and work in London and this morning I woke to the news that the police had found and were in the process of diffusing the car bomb in Piccadilly Circus. My initial thought was 'oh b*gger - getting to work will be murder again'. Now, I'm not usually a cold hearted person and I was in London on a bus when the 7/7 bombs were going off so I know well how awful the situation can be and has been, but I feel that perhaps I've become a bit resigned to the fact that London is on high alert all the time and there's nothing you can do about it. It just interferes with my day, like people committing suicide under rush hour tubes! Do any other Londoners feel the same, have we all become blase and cynical?!
