“There are new bombs, very big bombs, trucks being reinforced for those bombs,” Feinstain said. “There are bombs that go through (metal-detecting) magnetometers.”
The Chairmen of both the House and Senate Intelligence committees said Sunday that terrorists have gained ground in the past two years and that the United States is “not any safer” than it was at the outset of 2011.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, agreed that despite the death of Bin Laden the Obama administration has lost ground in the ongoing battle with global terrorism. “People think that, well, we’ve got this thing beat,” Rogers said. “And that’s just not the case.”
As evidence the U.S. is in greater danger than before, the Senator Feinstein cited a dramatic rise in fatalities from terrorist-related activities and increasingly specialized and dangerous technology available to terrorists.
Senator Feinstein is the chairman of the powerful Senate Select Intelligence Committee (source: http://www.intelligence.senate.gov/).
The senator specifically highlighted bombs as a growing threat to American security. “There are new bombs, very big bombs, trucks being reinforced for those bombs,” Feinstain said. “There are bombs that go through (metal-detecting) magnetometers.”
