Snips: Dallas is now officially one of the nation's top 10 terrorist targets – a designation that sounds alarming but which state and local officials have sought for years, because it means millions in federal funds to beef up security. In Washington, homeland security officials had little to say publicly about the rationale for moving Dallas – along with Boston and Philadelphia – into the top tier of cities facing potential threat.

Dallas-Fort Worth area moves to top tier of terrorism targets

Just after 9-11 we spent billions upgrading 1st responders - I remember I thought at the time that pre-positioning all over the US would have been more efficient ... now as I understand it if the SHTF & cell services go down it’ll be 9-10 all over again - we won’t even be able to talk to each other ...
There have been terrorism exercises in cities all over America since 9/11. As far as I know citizens haven’t been involved in those exercises, other than those who elected to be participants in them. If, in the blink of an eye, such an event happened, how many elderly or clueless people do you know who wouldn’t have enough food, water, medical supplies or transportation to maintain their ability for survival? If ever the boy scout motto were applicable (BE PREPARED) it certainly is these days.
We’re so nice to provide terrorists with this useful information.
Lots of mosques, er, ammo dumps, in the area.
