I don't understand why you're saying these things and they're making me sad.Originally Posted by oskar
No, that's the potential threat. /smartass
I just tried to look up how many people died on US soil due to terrorist attacks in the last decade, but I can't find any useful numbers. If anyone who's better at google could help me out here...
But I can assure you it is vastly overshadowed by almost any other cause of death that is out there.
A man contacted a Pakistani terror group stating his desire to become a jihadist. If it wasn't for the fact that he was retarded he'd have got through to them.
You think we shouldn't bother monitoring these guys?
If you want the number of people killed on US soil due to terrorist attacks, the 3,000 killed on 9/11 is a decent place to start.
In terms of the homegrown threat, it's really really naive to think homegrown terrorism isn't a threat - just look at 7/7 and the Madrid train bombings.
If you think the amount of money dedicated to anti-terrorism is inefficient due to the numbers killed, do you also think the amount of money dedicated to murder investigations is inefficient, considering cancer kills ~40x more than murders in the US?
