A month or two after 9/11 I actually had to move because of a attempted terrorist attack on a Military base. I used to live in Cocoa Beach and drove to Melbourne down A1A everyday to work back when I had a day job.
They ended up closing A1A in front of Patrick Air Force base, due to an attempted terrorist attack on that base. It didn't get much press back then, but I can tell you they shut the road down for probably 6 to 8 months because of it and at the time were saying it would remain closed indefinably.
They ended up putting up major blast barriers in front of all the buildings next to the high way and blast proofed the building as well by closing in all the windows and strengthened the buildings against bombs.
I had to move because it made my drive to work change from 25 mins to well over a hour each way and traffic was horrid.
If you watch the news you see small groups getting caught fairly often.. I think we haven't had another attack because the FBI and Homeland security are actually on the ball, but we only hear the bad shit. Hell look at the raids with those Militia guys just this week. They are obviously doing something right a reasonable amount of time to catch these kinda guys before they hit something.
While the govt does screw up a lot, they don't get credit or headlines when they do it right. If you think back about it, there have been a lot of spoiled attempts since 9/11 they just don't get the major press.
