Riddle me this, Batgirl: What is the solution rate for burglaries in your town? How about after factoring in the reporting rate?

What does that tell you about the likelihood of police using information not available to the public to do anything useful - about anything, much less a terror threat?

Better to just tell the people.

You owe some people apologies. Growing up might be good for you too. Cynicism is the refuge of people who are afraid they cannot make it on their own in life, thus they get angry and cynical about those they would depend on. When I see a cop, a fireman, a doctor, an emergency worker, I thank God for them and salute them in my heart.

What's with the Batgirl crap? Really, you are not being helpful with your continuing demeaning comments about policemen and people who do not agree with your position.

[Miss Marple]

What's the matter, did you have a burglary unsolved and you are bent out of shape about it?

Burglaries are not terrorism. Burglaries are not noted in the "chatter" that is montored electronically. FBI, CIA, and foreign intelligence services are not involved in solving burglaries.

Furthermore, burglaries are notoriously hard to solve if there is no eyewitness, no fingerprints, and no evidence left at the scene.

So take a flying leap, eno. If you think all of this is silly, then get off the thread.
