Can we get the community together to talk about this? Should I go engage local law enforcement and call a community meeting?

Right. So here's a couple. And again, what I found to be extremely useful was bringing in special forces, and I know you guys did this in the teams as well, So before you go downrange, and this is... both post and pre 9-11.

You know, our engineer sergeant would sit with the engineer sergeant. I would sit with the detachment commander. The intel guys would sit together. They would do, you know, one-on-one debriefs of what they saw and the incoming guys would take that, take notes. And then we'd do kind of a collective thing. And it just was what you did. But I think you can migrate that same thing.

And so he can give you really, really insights into if you subscribe to the notion that that could happen here, and is somewhat imminent, then he can tell you the things that he saw. Then you derive questions such as, how would we handle in this county an incident where groups of eight to 10 well-trained terror operatives donned first responder uniforms?
