Well, I think there is some knowledge one can extract. One can look at the patterns and targets of terrorism in other countries and then avoid similar places in this country. You can't prevent, but you can at least avoid some of the riskiest places.

Face it FaultLine...some folks are just plain afraid of old "fear itself". Kind of like the sky is falling. You can tell 'em it will be okay, but they love that misery factor.

Thinking about those explosives caused me to think of a couple of scenarios which the FBI might not have considered - haven't heard them mentioned as possibilities, both of which could cause a hell of a lot of trouble. I just called the FBI field office in the place I was thinking of, and was told that they are considering the scenario I was thinking of, so that made me feel better. I felt sort of silly, but the person I talked to was very nice and seemed to appreciate the call. They don't accept emails. fbi.gov Heard on the radio yesterday that they have enlisted the help of Hollywood screenwriters to brainstorm scenarios.
