"Most are looking for 9/11 scale attacks, but I think suicide bombings with 1-3 people in a school/mall/church will probably become the norm. Cheap and psychologically devastating. Hope I'm wrong."
I agree. I have always suspected that Al Queda will change thier tactics from bombing well protected high profile targets to soft targets such as malls and football games. The psychological and economic impacts would be devastating.
"malls" and football.
I can tell you a bit about malls from this state. I have also seen, with my own eyes, men in tactical gear on duty at football games. At night. High School football games.
Being smart and knowing the profile and behavior is something everyone should be aware of now. Everyone.
