The alarming truth about today’s terror threat: Former NYPD official says America is in greater danger than any time since 9/11

We must identify these threats before they build more bombs or it will be too late.
This requires sophisticated criminal investigations by the FBI, as well as by state and local authorities — which quite frankly, outside of New York City, have happened very infrequently.
Most local police departments will say they lack resources to pursue such leads — but that is simply no longer an excuse. As was done in the NYPD, priorities must be set and assets re-deployed to meet the terrorist threat — and that means deploying experienced detectives capable of running investigations against potential terrorist cells.
Departments need informants, undercovers and wiretaps. That is what it is all about. It can be done and should be done now in most major cities within the United States.
