I know. And it was Bush & Cheney’s fault no one listened.
Just like Bush getting blamed for 911, hindsight is always so easy. Sure, if we put the pieces together now, we can see what was happening. But like the French have recently said . . they get information on credible threats ALL THE TIME. You can't panic on each one. Otherwise you would be a situation where some idiot with a tracfone could call in a fake bomb threat and shut down anything they want.
If it happened, I'm sure the officials would say it was a hard decision but they totally had awesome evidence to do it. Which, of course, they can't share, because security. But they made the best decision and you're safe because government.
Then, of course, when the next one happens they will say they can't possibly react to every threat or the terrorists win. The difference, of course, is just timing. Give it 3 months.
