TW: This has been on my mind recently as well, although things are so haywire already I am not so sure the financial markets would react all that much worse than they already are behaving.
From Scott Weber:
"The United States finds itself in an unprecedented vulnerable state as it welcomes a new president and rescues a battered economy. The downturn in the economy has gutted markets worldwide, fanning the already rising flames of anti-American sentiment. Our economy is reeling; creating a fertile ground for a terrorist attack and history demonstrates that terrorists view periods of transition as optimal times for attack.
America’s current economic climate, the imminent administration change and the passage of time since 9/11 present the perfect storm for terrorists"
