saying that due to TSA there has been no further attack is a bad argument.


OK, presuming that TSA is ineffective then apparently OBL and Al Queda
have been, for the most part, neutered by their devastating losses in
the Mideast.

Or... perhaps they think an attack every ten years or so will accomplish
something other than getting the remaining dregs of their organization
killed or arrested.

Seems like a good "get out the vote" program would go a lot further
towards making them an effective political force; but then serial
killers generally kill for pleasure, not political gain.
