There may have been an attempt only recently. I think there was a guy who was going to shoot up a mall in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Thankfully, the attempt was stopped. Scott Brown mentioned it in his debate with Martha Coakley.
You mean the media didn’t give this a lot of attention? Shocking. Here’s the link, including the name of the Amish suspect.
Maybe Jihadis like to shop too? But as stated in another post, we had a Bosnian Muslim go on a rampage in a mall. The real answer is letting Americans carry to defend themselves.
As much as America’s security apparatus is maligned, they really have been effective at heading off many potential attacks. It is very difficult to get C-4 within the US borders and it’s not something easily smuggled in. The real risk is fertilizer bombs, but the police and industry have been very diligent since the Oklahoma City bombing. If it was that easy to pull off this type of attack, the crazy mo’s would have done it already. Not saying it won’t happen, but I think it’s a lot harder for the enemy that it appears.
