Document says number of attempted attacks on U.S. is at all-time high


Following the attempted car bombing in times square the department of homeland security is saying that the rate of attacks on america has been more frequent then all of the attacks in one year. A memo that has been sent to different law enforcement groups says that there will be attacks at an "increased frequency", with little to no warning. The previous attacks were hard to suspect because the men lived in the U.S for long periods of time and used common products that would not lead to suspicion. They also left for only short periods of time for training overseas.

This is obviously very alarming. I'm not sure what can be done about this because the attacks are smaller(not any less serious, however) which makes them harder to figure out because they are easier to cover up. I hope that they can get to the root of the attacks or figure who is doing it and where the training is happening. It is even more scary that some of these people have been U.S citizens for quite some time. It makes me feel less safe and more sceptical of people.
