There is no security threat. It's almost all nonsense. 9/11 was a legitimate terrorist attack just like the previous world trade center bombing was but there is no global terrorist network and there never was. It was just a tool to get more control of society. Look at what laws have changed since 9/11. Have you ever noticed these things get passed by people saying "don't worry, it's just to fight terrorism" but it's always actually used against citizens for non-terrorist activity? If there really is some global terrorist network I think it's safe to say at this point that they're so hopelessly incompetent as to not be worth worrying about. There are countless vulnerabilities in the US [1], why would terrorists be so stupid as to only attack our hardest point? Criminals don't act that way. A mugger doesn't walk past 100 old ladies with gold jewelry to rob the most dangerous looking person he can find. [1] For example, US sea ports. They check every hundredth container if that (Walmart wont tolerate delays on shipping).

There's one other issue that stops them: the suicide-bombing-kind of terrorists who are actually capable of pulling off an attack can only do it once. I mean, really, it's not a strategy for long-term success is it?

Not only is there a global terrorist network, they are so elite that they broke into CIA head quarters, rifled all their files until they found one market "Top Secret" that was a list of mujahadeen fighters in afghanistan in the 1980s that were on the CIA payroll, and decided that this was really cool. So they looked on the file and saw that the code name for this list of fighters was called "Al Queda" and so they decided to name their own organization using this top secrete CIA code word for mujahadeen fighters! Aren't they so elite, to have done all that? Their very name is proof of their eliteness! (or the gullibility of americans.)

  Haha. Or they could have just listened to the first WTC bombing trial where the prosecution made up the name "Al Queda" so they could charge Osama bin Laden In absentia under the RICO laws.
