important issue.

Terrorists have specific goals that require lots of planning. They do not want to take on targets with low probability of success because of the risks involved. This is why I agree terrorism on US soil is most likely going to take on the form of something that impacts our ability to function as a society and has a high likelihood of success. something like blowing up key bridges in a dozen cities at the same time. Or simultaneously attacking large public areas or key institutions.

It is this reason why attaking nuke plants is unlikely in my view. They are already hardened, they already have good security, and even if they managed to fly a plane into one (low probability after 9/11) there is a high probability the damage would be minimum and local at worse.
