Another week has passed since the attacks of September 11 with no specific or credible threat of another attack against the United States being reported. A great many Americans and their governmental agencies, federal to local, are slipping into complacency and grow weary of the counter-terrorism experts’ forecasting of another impending attack.

Ten years after the Oklahoma City bombing , the worst home grown terrorist attack on the US soil, six years after the Columbine High School attack, the worst school shooting and bombing in the country, and now almost four years after the most horrendous attack ever experienced by the United States, we are, indeed, still vulnerable, both physically and psychologically.
