No Surprise

It shouldn't be surprising to anybody that we should expect an attack this year. It's impossible to stop every terrorist without living in a police state. Our borders are (relatively) open and means that a small band of thugs could sneak across the border; let's not even talk about moles who have become citizens. Does anybody seriously think that if a determined individual or individuals decided to blow something up or shoot a few people that we could actually stop them?

I'm not being Chicken Little, just a realist. As has been said by many quite a few times, those who protect us have to be perfect. Those who wish to harm us just have only to be lucky once.

Be prepared.
