And dropping a few concrete blocks onto railway lines could completely immobilise most countries with fear. Ditto for a few shooting sprees in shopping malls. It's easy to think of any number of utterly trivial ways to bring a society to a standstill.
The fact that these things aren't happening every day gives the lie to the "war on terror."

Or even the hunt against geeks/trench-coat wearing people after Columbine (instead of just going after people who had told you they felled homocidal and where on antidepressants known to cause people to feel that way).
