We live in an era of implausible deniability and ambiguous warfare

[Bill Moore]

You like asymmetry?

All it takes is a Bic lighter and some gumption.

True, and you can't defend a forest. Every person must become a sensor, and when capable instead of "see something, say something," if you see something, do something. The population must be educated and mobilized to mitigate this type of threat. I recall Al-Qaeda making similar threats years ago, but the assumption is they wouldn't get any theater from clandestinely starting a fire so they wouldn't pursue it. Terrorism may or may not be theater, but warfare isn't, and not all acts of war waged by global insurgents need to be terrorist acts.

Would that your ideal was possible, in a nation where a significant minority can't drive from Point A to Point B (or even cross the street) in a safe manner, let alone have a modicum of Situational Awareness.

We live in the age of IDIOCRACY.
