I was in Niagara Falls, you could cripple the entire east coast and center of Canada if you looked at it with the proper training. Remember the big blackout? Most of North America is completely unguarded, and there are just too many places to guard to guard them all. Imagine if New York had no subway. Or if the wrong bridges were blown, look at the paralysis a little storm like Katrina caused. It is so much easier to do the damage in person. Or one of the rockets the palestinians use against Israel, built at home, used against an oil well or refinery. Americans do no understand their vulnerability. 50 years ago almost every family who had a home had a garden. I live on a block where every yard is half an acre, and I am the only one with a garden except for an older Ukranian man who grows his own veggies.
