"if you were a terrorist, wouldn't you wait for the heat to be off before you tried it again?" It depends on your goals. For maximum effect, a more distributed attack, like a bunch of car bombs in crowded places within a week of 9/11 would have sent the whole country into a panic. And then if they followed it up with some more during the holidays, we would be headed for a world depression. It didn't happen. It may be they don't have the resources for it. I suspect Al Quida might not be as large as many believe. They seem to be widely distributed though. Now if the terrorist want to avoid being caught, then waiting until the heat is off would be the best approach.
