And a terrorist group in the US would have access to all the other states in the US, and it's so much worse: there is far more land in the US than in Europe. Sure the states aren't separate countries, but how does that make a difference when catching terrorists? Why aren't you tackling the glaring problem we have in the US, thanks to the US Constitution?
