In all reality, if some nut wants to commit mass murder, all they need to do is walk into a mall on a Saturday evening and detonate. Or worse, a school. What about blowing up the area outside security at the airport? Or a ball game? Or Sunday church?

If you gave me 20 or 30 Jihadist ready to die for the cause, I could bring any nation to its knees within 2 weeks.

All this leads me to believe there are only two options regarding all of this:

1) The terrorists are totally inept.

2) There is no such thing.

Which is it?
There is nothing to stop them and nothing to protect us. Period. An oil tanker into a gas station would do it, not to mention an oil tanker into an oil tank farm... We drive past one off the freeway and I swear if someone wanted to they could fly through the chain link fence and bam.

But it's getting to the point where it doesn't bother us any more. A shooter at a mall? Happens all the time. (Gunman set my local mall on fire last month and burned half of it down.) Gonna derail a train? These items might be in the news for a day or two, but otherwise no big deal already.

Sad really.
