Reminding smaller cities that they too could be targets of terrorist attacks, real or imagined, would be enough to cause a jerk-reflex of fear across the country.



It would also be a way to shore up budget support in when Congress begins to view DHS as a fat target for cuts. Many DHS actions make sense when viewed as attempts to retain funding and avoid being dismantled. Along with ordinary bureaucratic CYA.

Regarding the official version of the events on 9/11, I'm not sure how anyone can be completely free of doubts about what happened, after having a look at some of the indisputable facts of that day.


Well, yes, that's why nobody seriously buys the conspiracy theories. There are a few Area 51 conspiracy kooks who see Someone behind the fact that the sun rises in the east instead of the west, but the attacks themselves don't seem particularly hard to analyze in hindsight.
