There are more holes in US security than anyone is talking about:
~5% of all shipping containers (the big, standardized metal ones that everything is moved around the globe in these days) that come into American ports are checked.
Passenger vessels are almost never checked. In fact, if you were to impersonate a well-known private motor yacht captain, all you have to do is hail the Coast Guard and just tell them where you are.
And as far as targets are concerned...hit a NASCAR race or one of the big wrestling events (some of which have 80,000+ people in one building).
But...and if I can find it I'll post a link...al Qaeda has actively turned away from attacking the US directly for a while. They're going after our allies like the UK and Spain to peel them away from us. Then they'll start attacking us directly again. For now, the current administration is doing all their work for them.
