Have you seen these men?

[Walsingham]

Colrom has two good points. However i would disagree with his first, that it is irresponsible to chase specific individuals who have not yet committed a crime. In the case of Kentucky Fried Qaeda franchises 99% of operatives are not prior actors. If we want to avoid casualties in the first place we need systems like this or the old TIGERWATCH system (in the UK). In any event, it is an offence under law in the normal way to plan or participate in terrorist activity. If these men are suspected of same then they have committed an offence. It is perfectly legal to run them down for an interview and investigation.

 

Having said this taking the whole system view I agree with Colrom's point about needing to improve disaster and emergency response. Katrina exposed how blurry authority, differing priorities, and un-networked information can cripple effective response. Mitigation is crucial in resilience.

 

Note also the recent attack on a train in Eastern Russia which killed many people. Public transport remains a clear target to satisfy Al Qaeda's desire for blood.

this is a given but a side issue w.r.t. the FBI posting images of suspected terrorists.

public transportation is always the most vulnerable target. it necessarily has to allow just about everyone on, and requires the most effort to monitor due to the sheer volume of participants every day. plus, such suckers are all trapped with no escape, making very easy targets.

FBI was never same after Mulder left

Indeed. FBI is nothing without that powerful main-theme humming in the background.

X-Files was one of the best tv series ever. They don't make good tv shows any more.
