FReepers have been writing about these kinds of attacks since 9-11. If it were at all feasible, the terrorists would have done it already.

Personally I think there are a combinations of reasons it hasn’t happened. I’m guessing its partly because most malls are mostly empty these days and it would enrage the public.

They have! These incidents previously noted on FR Threat Matrix threads:

2007 Utah mall shootiing - Bosnian Muslim murderer was jihadi

Julia Gorin digs through the FBI report on the Salt Lake City Valentine's day massacre of 2007. Here is previous extensive coverage of the jihad in Salt Lake here. One detail it mentions, which we didn’t hear about before, is that Talovic was wearing a miniature Koran necklace while he shot the people at the mall. This is new information, which we’re finding out only because someone made a Freedom of Information Act request.

FBI investigating Spokane/Northtown Mall incident as possible terrorism

A February incident in which noxious fumes were released in the region’s largest shopping mall is being investigated by the FBI as a possible incident of domestic terrorism. The fumes prompted the evacuation of NorthTown Mall in February, and at least 36 people sought medical care.

Islamic terrorism strikes Finland

The gunman was identified as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli, an immigrant who had been living for several years in Finland, police superintendent Jukka Kaski said, adding that the weapon used was an unlicensed handgun.

What makes it unfeasible??? And what indicates that it has not been attempted, or will be attempted at all in the future???

Anything is possible, no matter how well we are prepared for it, the terrorists only have to be right one time...We have to be right 100% of the time, right???

I hate it as much as you do that this is really a wait and see kind of situation...Because there is not much that can be done to stop it from happening...

I remember the afternoon of the 9-11 attack. I was watching an IDIOT on the news. His JOB was to consider the ways a terrorist attack may be carried out and to prevent them. He said, "no one could have imagined carrying out a terrorist attack like this".

Really? No one? Well obviously SOMEONE imagined it. This same guy would have probably agreed with you, particularly if you had told him on 9-10-2001 that the World Trade Towers can't be brought down because if it were at all feasible the terrorists would have done it already.

I can think of so very many easy targets in the US. So many ways that substantial death and economic problems could be enacted. The idea that they will not happen because thay have not happened yet is beyond laughable.

Your premise is incorrect. It is obviously feasible...just look at the layout of every mall in the US. The question is, why haven't they done it?

I fully expected to see such attacks on Black Friday 2001. It would have sent our economy into a bigger tailspin than the one we actually experienced. The only reason I can surmise for it not happening is that the jihadis don't really understand us and don't realize how much this would affect us.

Using that mindset, 9-11 wasn't feasible. Check the date.
