Do you think these were the only machine guns? Are they that hard for a group like AQ to smuggle? (especially by sea). . . I would assume that if AQ wants it's sleepers in the U.S. armed with machine guns, they are now armed with machine guns. I see this bust as merely a window for us into possible ongoing operations.

You are right. It's the cockroach theory -- if you see one, that means there are hundreds of others.
BTW I just saw this article:
CDC Urges Ricin Poisoning Awareness
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1028769/posts They seem to dress it up, as "domestic terrorism", but we KNOW AQ was working on ricin, and they actually caught some in London, and Paris who were trying to make large quantities of ricin?
And AQ also talked about poisoning the water supply...
