personally I feel like the whole threat of terrorism is overblown. If they were a real threat we'd see more attacks on U.S. soil. There are a ton of soft targets like malls, subways, schools that aren't protected.

Instead the only attacks on the U.S. soil, seem to come from people who think they are joining a movement. It's always some incompetent dumbass, who got brainwashed by the media frenzy, with no actual connections to actual terrorists.

Hell, the reason 911 happened was because everyone in this country was told to just sit down and wait to get rescued. If someone tried to hijack a plane now with box cutters, they'd get their asses kicked by everyone on the plane.
