The terrorists seem to be really focused on DC and NYC as targets. For some reason, they can't conceive of much "easier" targets beyond those

Yeah, I've always wondered why they didn't go after small towns or sporting events that had lots of people, but didn't have the attention of the NSA or FBI. For instance, if they sent a few suicide bombers to a few Wal-Marts in Suburban areas, then everyone in the country would feel unsafe. I know if someone walked in to a random college football game with a bomb strapped to themselves under their clothes, they could take out hundreds.

I remember the DC sniper and everyone on the East Coast felt unsafe because people were doing normal activities like pumping gas or going to the grocery store. If terrorists pulled off something like that on a bigger scale, then it would be mass panic.
