    Scary. It sounds like they were tracking him all the way and were even on top of it enough to provide the guy with a phony bomb vest.

    I think it shows that our law enforcement is doing a good job and that most would be terrorists are thankfully not super-skilled.

    It means a guy was planning on blowing up the Capitol building in D.C.

    My title might be confusing though.....he never got to the point where he was at the capitol and ready to detonate it. He was caught by police away from the capitol and way before he was ready to do it.

    A Tet style offensive around the country with Teams & lone wolf attackers could follow

    Doubtful since the Patriot Act is working to full effectiveness as designed.
