As a former ASA "spook," I couldn't resist the temptation to remind ...
... not having "become a big fat terrorist target" just might be the result of some extraordinarily diligent covert security work, the details of which will never see the light of day in our lifetimes, if ever. From what I heard, there was "verbal activity" that was being monitored for weeks prior to the event. Of course, not having a Security Clearance anymore, nor the "need to know," I was unable to learn anything more, despite using my best questioning techniques. (The "questionee" has had the same training as I and, I'm sure, quite a bit more these days.)
