Heather,
That's FASCINATING that your passport wasn't checked. I would have never guessed that.
Isn't it true that there are plenty of terrorists that have the will to partake in terrorist actions here in the US? Where are they? I just can't believe that terrorists only plan to attack America once a decade. I think that's just the best they can do and that they are always trying.
I believe more in an Osama (for example) trying to get some shot off at the US than an Osama waiting for the right timing.
There are plenty of people willing to blow themselves up for a cause but not that many of them that have the will, the money, the resources, and from their point of view the good fortune to make it happen. Why go through all the trouble to get to America when one can just take a bus to Israel, walk into a shopping mall and blow yourself up hence assuring everlasting happiness in the after-life and martyrdom monetary payments to mother.
There will be more terrorist attacks here in America but I think their ability is for the most part limited to the above and when they happen to get lucky. I think one really needs the luck factor to play out and is the problem of trying to plan for specific dates and times.
What was the significance of September 11? Just a random day when they could happen to do it.
