The TSA Warns Bus Bombings could be on the Way to America - I Guess this means The Global War on Terror Isn't Over After All

A few days ago America had the head of the TSA , (the Transportation Security Administration) John Pistole making statements after the TSA issued a warning bulletin to local and state law enforcement cautioning them about the increased risk if bus bombings and attacks on our mass transit system. The TSA bulletin warned of attacks against bus networks because of their accessibility and openness.

To make some kind of sense about this warning takes more than a little effort. Pistole said this warning is not being issued due to a specific threat, yet the warning was pretty specific in nature. To understand the threat people need to know that between 2004 and 2009 there were approximately 725 documented attacks on buses. The one that stands out the most is the 2005 London bus bombing that was pulled off by an Islamic suicide bomber. Then of course there are dozens of attacks that have been committed in Israel, again committed by Islamic terrorists.

Al-Qaeda lists bus bombings as one of its favorite type of targets to attack because of its simplicity and effectiveness. The Transportation Security Administration has long been warning of attacks by terrorists on America's mass transit system, including buses although most of the attention has been paid to trains and large trucks shipping hazardous or dangerous materials. The idea that TSA is now warning that bus bombings could be coming to America is just another indication that the Global War on Terror isn't over, even with Bin Laden dead.
