I am concerned that this is a "test-run" for similar attacks during the Christmas Shopping season at various locations around the country. Attacks like these in various metropolitan/suburban areas would have a very negative effect, I think.

The shooters are proving that they cannot be identified nor stopped, and thus, when the shooting starts at other locations, there goes the retail economy.

How many Al-Quaeda cells are estimated to be already here and in place? In what areas? How much is being learned by these from the reaction to and the coverage of the present snipers?

What defense do we have? Nada!

We can intern and deport.

"...there goes the retail economy."

Think the terrorists know that most retail operations make or break it financially for the whole year based on their sales between now and the end of the holiday season?
