who wants to bet that there will be another terrorist attack tomorrow

i was pointing out how ridiculous it is to expect them to have the capacity to stop an attack in the first place

if they knew it was coming and the details of it then it wouldn't be that hard
of course they won't always have these but the attacks they stop aren't the attacks that get reported

true but it would probably be the FBI doing the preventing instead of the police.  That was the point I was trying to make.

Hijacking the aircraft yo. Air marshalls exist. Undercover police.

There were only about 50 Air Marshalls pre-9/11. Now there are about 4000.
And they don't count as NYPD, which was Caribou's point.
