What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the odds of a catastrophic attack against one or more US cities is higher or lower than it was, say, in 1990? I think it is certainly higher.Our borders are wide open, and security at our airports is no better than it was in 1991, despite the "danger" from terrorists.

I'd say that there is a much higher chance of a 9-11 style attack today than there was in 1990.
"I'd say that there is a much higher chance of a 9-11 style attack today than there was in 1990."
Actually I was thinking in terms of a nuke or release of a bio-agent, or chemical agents, which was the type of threat we would have faced from the russians (Nuke, mainly).
Such an attack would make a 9/11/01-type attack look puny. THAT is the kind of attack I worry about. 2 buildings going down will not put this country down. 2 or 3 major cities going down will crash our economy, close our banks, crash the market, cause tailspin unemployemnt, crash the dollar, and that is just what I can name in 30 seconds.
I've addressed some interesting article to "All" that you should look over. It seems when you kick a dog long enough, even a Muslim dog, it will bite.
