What does it take to be a real threat?

Jack Brumbelow of Plano is upset with the FBI and their investigation of Hosam Smadi, the terrorist who thought he was detonating a car bomb in downtown Dallas last fall. He says that "The feds spent probably incalculable resources on their investigation instead of applying those resources to real threats." Hmmmm -- a radical islamist dials a cellphone to set off a bomb in a crowded metropolitan area, and Jack doesn't think he's a real threat? Wonder what he does consider a real threat. He says he wonders when common sense will raise its head. We could say the same about you, Jack!
