Ted,

Good points.

Bottom line, on a relative basis, there is very little threat to the US from terrorism?

I know that's a "knock on wood" statement; still, it seems to be true.

And the next obvious questions is, what justifies our response...

These are hard political positions when "terrorism" is the emotional issue.

John

Ted, I think the next one will be a suicide bomber with a dirty bomb.

Personally, I think a dirty bomb isn't that big a deal. It takes a lot longer to clean up, but the area of the blast can easily be evacuated for that amount of time. I don't think that's worth all of the trouble trying to gather up the materials in the first place.
