Interesting article to update an ages old GW concept - thanks.

Quote:
The problem of microterrorism remains small right now; there are few people dedicated to it and thus few successful attacks.
Personally, I disagree with the idea that the problem 'remains small right now' as any such effort on the part of a terrorist, no matter how small or ineptly executed, may cost the attacker(s) little but costs us a tremendous amount of time, effort, and $$$ in our response(s) to them while eroding faith in our collective abilities to protect ourselves and retarding our economic recovery and growth.

I can only see those problems and costs increasing in the near term.

However, YMMV - and so it goes...
