Terrorist flies in, shoots 11 people, flies out completing mission. He demonstrates that one doesn't need a fleet, an air wing, landing craft, beachheads, logistical support, paratroops, etc. to attack. Just a round trip ticket, and some walking around money. Maybe next month 100 troops "invade" to complete missions!

What Greg's fly in professional would need is some local support. A rifle and ammo, either from a diplomatic pouch from one of our "friendly" muslim allies (Saudis, Egyptians etc), or a local "American" muslim who bought the gun. A fly in terrorist is NOT going to be going to gun shows or the black market himself to get a weapon, it will be provided to him at a dead drop. Ditto vehicle support. His local support cell may also scout locations, etc.

But we CANNOT discount the scenario Tracer provides: scoped Contender type pistol, one solo terrorist or lunatic, firing from 150 plus yards and never seen or connected to the event, just walking, biking or driving away.
