Study: U.S. at 'Low' Risk of Terror Attack

I'm sure that big sis will somehow find a way to spin this into DHS/TSA being effective...

"North America is the least-likely region to be involved in a terrorist attack, though this is not the general impression among many of its residents,"
The spin is well-established.

What that report misses out is that following 9/11 and before the invasion of Iraq there wasn't any increase in global terrorism. Following the invasion global terrorism shot up 4 fold.

I'm glad people remember that idiocy.
People will look back on that in the same way
we look back on 1950's "Duck and Cover" drills.

Keep the terror out of the country and secured the border. Don't let sneaked across the border.
