Didn't Osama say in the last threat message that he would kill our children? Maybe the threat is against our older children. College age ... and the "bird flu"... It seems if terrorists are doing the bombs that the bombs are messages. Too small to be a bomb in and of itself. But a bomb as a means to threaten ... And that message would be "we can get in".
