To truly protect the American People from any and all potential International Terrorist threat it is important to understand that we need to be thinking outside the box and use our minds to come up with concepts, which are abstract. We must consider methodologies of nature, survival of species, viruses, human immune systems, choke points, surveillance, technology, distribution methods, war planning, computer and information flows. Nothing should be off limits when developing an over all strategy to protect our people.
Thoughts on the normal FBI and Secret Service Methodologies are interesting and should be studied indeed, but covering more bases, all bases. We must also allow to come to mind the way diseases work in the blood stream, blood and oxygen flow to the brain and thus better predict international terrorist movement by studying what works and why. Indeed our own US history has some lessons too for instance how illegal aliens sneak into the country and the similarities to the underground railroad of blacks to the North before and during the Civil War. Here are some additional thoughts although in the abstract of how systems work and things flow and you can bet that the International Terrorists will exploit all they can to move their ball down our field.

Super Computers and Data Mining can be used and even give us clues, thus allowing us a system which will lead us in developing a real thinking program that is like a human but a million times faster. Anyway this is the basis of the idea and the a

The bigger picture, if we are to see what is hiding right before our eyes, then we must understand all the flows of our civilization and how they interact with one another, where they can be exploited and the cause and effect of such moves. The International Terrorists it has been said only need to get lucky once, whereas we have to defend againt every potential eventuality, but never losing the sight of the goal; so let's take luck out of the equation. We need to build a system, which is 100% reliable on time, every time, without failure delivery of the goods, whatever they maybe.
