Danger Everywhere You Look

Still there seem to be alot of 'Threats to National Security' - So, I did a google search to see what kind of threats to National security they were worried about. In the first 10 pages of the google search these are some of the things I found.

note: While 'terrorism' in general made the list, 'Al Queda', 'the Taliban', and 'Osama Bin Laden' did not.
