Forest fires seem, to me, the low hanging fruit. Lots of economic damage for little effort so the fact they're not being done make me doubt the omnipresence of Emmanuel Goldstein.
This amazes me also. Imagine 6 or 8 teams of two shooting one person at random every other day or so in our largest metro areas. It would paralyze the country.
And TSA would start swiping your hands at the airport to see if you had recently fired a gun.
Exactly. The DC folks got caught because they used the same vehicle and stayed in the same area. Al Qaeda surely has the resources to avoid that one.
Add in some random rural targets and the entire country comes to a standstill. That this hasn't happened yet indicates to me either that Al Qaeda is far more neutered than we generally think, or they utterly lack any amount of imagination.
It's rather terrifying how close our society is to total panic and shutdown.

Or perhaps Al Quaeda isn't quite what you've been told. For some reason that is considered impossible by almost all normally open minded people.
