OPENING ACTIVITY

In the last 10 years Al Qaeda's ability to carry out another attack has greatly degreaded.  We take terror plot tips more seriously now and follow up on every single one.  Our security screening has also improved greatly.  As we continue to take out Al Qaeda leadership we are just pushing them out thinner into other countries.  We have made lots of progress however it is getting harder to track the remaining leaders as they run to other countries.  This can be benifitial because they no longer have strength in numbers, just small pockets here and there.
