I have been reading lately about loads of Mexicans coming accross our southern boarder in the trailers of trucks. The ones we know about involve tragic deaths of people who were abandoned in the desert when the trailer is disconected from the tractor. There must be thousands of people who come accross daily. Why would anyone assume that terrorists do not use these means and others to come into this country virtually at will? I think that we are an explosion waiting to happen. It is only a matter of time, in my opinion, before a tragedy overshadows 9/11. What do you think?

Why would anyone assume that there are not thousands of terrorists already in the US?

It is always "just a matter of time", though of course, ti could be 1000 years.
9/11 was a brilliantly executed plan. without using the same props (large airliners into huge buildings), the likelyhood of terrorists causing anywhere near the same damage or death is low. More cotidian attacks, like the first WTC bombing, are infinately more likely, far more likely than all this "bio-terror' 'dirty bomb" bull.
And terrorist would be unlikely to chose amehotd of entry so fraught with peril as trying to cross the US-Mexico border illegally. It would make sense to get a few people in an try internal recruiting.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Suicide bombings are not even necessary: just make a bomb, put it in a garbage can in some mall, and there you go. The sort of panic a wave of such minor attacks would create would be high.
regular, old fashioned car bombs would also work (steal a car, park it somewhere full of explosives, walk away).If you don't like reality, change it! me

Remember when the scariest thing we had to deal with was AIDS infected needles in bottles of pepsi? *sigh* lost innocent youth...Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.

"Why would anyone assume that there are not thousands of terrorists already in the US? "
I don't like to be so much nasty , but aren't they in already? Well known terrorists, Bush, Powel, Rice,"****" C. , they are on pretty high post in the goverment. Few could do more damage than thousand.
Starchild, this was much bigger threat than some terrorist's attacks.
BTW If current medicine would use better designed needles and stuff, there wouldn't be such problem.
