The surveillance society, fusion centers, war on terror crime fighting tactics, license plate scanners, monitoring of e-mails, text messages, and social media sites, tracking of cell phones, use of drones, etc. only works to catch terrorists before they strike?
The people who run the surveillance state decide who fits into the terrorist category. When people who are not terrorists are not stopped- it does not count against the track record of attempting to prevent all major terror strikes after 911.
No matter how advanced the surveillance state becomes- it doesn’t seem to be able to prevent the sorts of crimes that concern communities across America.

Heroin-
Heroin traffickers are frequently successful at what they do. If terrorists were just as interested in entering the US- it appears that federal departments and agencies would have no way to stop them.
My take- terrorists aren’t trying very hard to disrupt the American way of life. If terrorists were trying just as hard as bank robbers and heroin traffickers- we’d be hearing about it more frequently.

i think the boston marathon bombing answered your question.
before the marathon, there were numerous articles about the tremendous amount of security in place for the marathon.
the bombing suspects were under close surveilliance by the FBI.
there were dozens of security contractors and even foreign security forces onhand to prevent any act of terrorism – and they couldn’t stop the bombing.
at this point, you HAVE to understand that they WOULD have prevented that attack if they WANTED to.
i mean – their cover story wasn’t even believable. the FBI asked for help in identifying the suspects, who they had been investigating and following for a few years.
and you don’t even mention the fact that Presidents Bush and Obama sold thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels.
you underestimate these vile bastards at your own peril.
