300 million citizens. Excluding 9/11, how many US-citizens have been killed on US-soil by terrorists? A few hundred? That still puts the odds at 1:1,000,000. Over the course of a decade.

The US-police sucks, compared to other police. Yes. Innocent people die and it's their fault.
However:
Which terrorists who attacked the US are still at large? Which terrorists have bested US law-enforcement?
