  1. Interesting...
  2. It has less to do with the fact he was from a foreign country and more to do with the fact, that a number of red flags where ignored.
  3. It makes you think about the actual usefulness of spending thousands of millions in intelligence services. Remember the 3/11 bombings in Madrid? A high number of red flags were ignored back then too. The result? 192 killed in my hometown. Same story with other attacks. It makes me angry and sad.

    Well, I think we'd have many more terrorist attacks without those intelligence services. They stop quite a few too.
  5. Intel has to be right every time. The bad guys only have to be fright once.
  6. +1
  7. I don't mean to say that intell. services should be avoided whatsoever - I mean that they should be more efficient. Virtually all the bad guys behind big attacks since Sept. 11th had been (in a bigger or smaller degree) monitorized by one or more intelligence agencies. That's not acceptable.
  8. Well another example then, last night some loser posted on some forum that he would shoot people at his school.

    Today all schools in the city of Leiden were closed, and the guy was tracked down and picked up. There were no weapons found. But it is hard to know on forhand what is a real threat and what not.

    Humans will always make errors from time to time. I think the last terrorist bomb attack that killed people in the U.S. was in 1996.
  10. I'm sure there have been more since then. Domestic terror, ain't much of a prob here, because Americans talk to much. They'll tell someone, long before they carry it out.
