Sorry but terrorism is here to stay. Home grown or imported. It's here. You cannot stop terrorism. If they want to blow something up they will. If they want to kill innocent people they will.
There are far too many ways to reek havoc and far too many targets to protect. We are no safer today than we were on 9/10. Yeah a few terrorists have been stopped. But that hasn't changed. There were planned terrorist events that were stopped before 9/11, both home grown idiots and foreigners. Pick a target and I'll show you a vulnerability, especially if you have people willing to die in the process. I doubt there is a single target in the United States that you couldn't fly a small plane load of explosives into.
