[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 4388505, member: 25419"] I used to get yearly haz-mat training from a guy that now works for the Feds - he's a sharp experienced dude that knows more about chemicals than Ozzy Osbourne. His son is also on an anti-terrorism team. That doesn't give me any special skills, but his insight on how vulnerable we are to terror threats was eye-opening. In about five minutes he could explain several potential scenarios right here in Tulsa that could get thousands killed, with no real expertise needed, and very little in the way of specialized supplies. His take then, and my take now is that most of these clowns aren't smart enough, haven't realized enough opportunities enough to do real damage - yet. It's just a matter of time before someone bright enough to carry out a more expert plan hits us hard. What's kept us safe thus far is that the imbeciles that fall for "radicalization" aren't usually smart enough to do much of anything requiring planning, math, ambition, etc... what we're getting is the "drive by shooting" version of terrorism.
