It confuses me how spending hours and hours of media budget and locking an entire city down is the appropriate response. If I was a terrorist-type, I'd really see an opportunity to hurt the US here. As I am not a terrorist type, I believe that the best thing to do is - in the inimitable words of the British - Keep Calm and Carry On. Let the evils rage and deal with them calmly and minimize all disruption. edit: RMS makes a good point IMO: if you want to paralyze a 1 Billion/day economy in the pursuit of 4 people murdered, that doesn't seem fruitful in the context of an accident levelling 1/4 mile around a chemical plant: Perhaps pouring several billion into improving safety and monitoring at chemical plants would significantly improve many more lives.
