text: can a new incident  like 9/11 take place in america ?   it can happen again. i think the pressure at the airports isn't thorough enough. having travelled internationlly recently, i saw it was still feasible to get something past the security.  us embassies around the world are also prime targets, and those fall under us jurisdiction. those have significantly less security surrounding them, especially if they're located in countries that do not crack down on terrorism and violent groups.
