Am I the only one that feels terrorism isn't quite as much of a serious threat as, say, the the constant decline of our National influence in the world and the ability to take what we need from anywhere in the world, should the time come that we need to?

If 'they' (bad they, not good they) wanted to really do some catastrophic damage, there are ways. You can't convince me that that this country is locked down tight to smuggled individuals and weapons, and that MI5 and the rest of the security services can track every potential explosive ingredient, privately hired aircraft and every small boat that turns up on our shore in the middle of the night.

Just look at the Mumbai attacks.

But then I do have a terminal case of cynicism and might just be wrong.
