A question about LIHOP.
Advertisements [?]
Lets say, for the sake of arguement, that the government knew a terrorist attack was likely in several major U.S. cities.

How do you propose they could have stopped the attacks from happening?

Ground the airlines? For how long? Who's to say the terrorists wouldn't just postpone the attacks?

Evacuate all of the major U.S cities likely to be attacked?

Tell me how you think we could have prevented these attacks from happening without SPECIFIC information as to who, when and where?

A viable threat without specific information would hardly be easy to stop.
