There was terrorist activity before 9/11. Think OK boming, the first WTC bombing, abortion clinic attacks.

- chadgeidel 17y agoYou are correct. I should have been clearer. Has there been a marked reduction in (US) terrorist-type activity after 9/11? It doesn't seem that's the case.
- hga 17y agoI'm not sure we can make a useful judgment here. After that stunning success (in the eyes of terrorists), you'd expect more people to try. Also, you should normalize against the general level of world wide terrorism of this nature, e.g. start with early post-9/11 examples like Bali and Madrid, each of which killed about 200 people.
- billswift 17y agoConsidering the extremely small numbers both before and after I doubt you could find any statistically significant trend either way.
