My family lives in the Washington DC metro area, and thus am perhaps more vulnerable to terrorist attacks than most who post on this thread. My husband's office was less than half a mile from the Pentagon on 9/11. When you say "threat to the public," what does that mean? Threat to me? Threat to my family? Threat to a large city? Threat to international commerce, like airports? Or like the banking system and the stock exchange? Threat to ports? Threat to government buildings? Threat to nuclear power plants? Threat to the electrical power grid? Nuclear explosions? Chemical agents? Biological agents? Kidnappings? Hijackings? Who is the threat? Who, what, where and when? You don't have a clue, do you?
