The real problem you have of course is that the LE orginizations are not trained or equipped to handle a full blown terrorist attack. Best example is the two that robbed the bank in CA, they were just well armed bank robbers. Just imagine a dozen well trained and well armed folks doing the same thing, with ambush tactics, grenades, claymores, etc. The death toll cold be staggering and mostly LE.

I voted LE due to the Constitution, but like the Constitution itself, there is a reason for doing a lot of things, including changing old rules or habits. I am most framiliar with what Franklin said and think he was dead on, but things do change.

I remember the "good old days," when we had but two deputies covering the entire county at night and they came to my home and asked if I would ride with them on Friday and Saturday night, as a backup in an emergency. I rode with them for three years. The LE job is scary at times and that is just handling the normal local stuff. I can not imagine getting a call to go to a terrorist shoot out or firefight in progress.
Best,
Ed
