    Credible Threat to the US

    Lots of action today in regards to credible threats to the US subway systems, primarily NYC, and the Washington Monument was just evacuated too.

    I saw some interview with...I wanna say a senator where he proclaimed the terrorists were winning because of how we've had to change our life style in the eye of security since 9/11. It was an interesting point...I guess today's activities make his statement more credible.

    ...not saying his views are right, it was just an interesting angle I hadn't heard yet.

    I think just people in big metropolitan areas. I don't think a farmer in North Dakota is too worried about terrorists.

    I dont agree with that at all....so we have to increase security.....thats something that we should do regardless. The fact that we can all go about our lives NOT LIVING IN FEAR because we feel secure means that we are WINNING.

    Their main intention is for us to live in fear....its not working.

    Terrorists want to hit the most concentrated area available..I doubt they will want to spend all that time plotting an attack to kill maybe 8 people and some cattle.

    No, terrorists main goal is to produce fear and carnage, and taking the highest amount of lives as possible.....they want to do the most damage at one time. So the possibilites of taking out a small town in Nebraska is less likely than a larger city.

    Did anyone happen to see the CNN special about 2 months ago about our national security? The detailed exactly how to bring a nuke into our country with out it being detected. Sorry, but freedom of the press should be limited on certain things.

    I'm aware it has its limitations..it just seems to me "well first you have to go to so and so and acquire it, then you have to go to china and put it in cargo...ship it to such a such port and talk to so and so" should be one of those limitations.

    ...haven't much liked CNN since then.

    BTW CNN is not th eonly one that tells you topics such as that most media do and if anything the media can "create and destroy" and the public absorbs it the way they want to.

    Considering the amount of airplanes in the air at one time, its not that hard to plan out, and they were very thorough about it. Especially since the airports were in close proximity to the targets.

    Well i was actually referring to how advanced their methods of attacks are becoming in reply to fgca rolla since they went from bombing the wtc from the parking garage to taking flight school cuz like they said all over the news during that time "who wouldve ever thought to use a transcontinental airplane as a missle"....

    True true. Theres no way to prevent it from happening..we can only be prepared for when it DOES happen. Sad but true. And the next attack will surprise us just as much as the WTC
