"Law enforcement officials have repeatedly warned that plots by lone wolves are the most difficult to detect and disrupt. But the DHS/FBI bulletin urges state and local law enforcement officials to be on the lookout for suspicious activity."
It is the "See something, Say something" campaign now running at your local Wal-Mart. If there is any suspicious goings-on in the pork or alcohol sections, be sure to tell the store manager. Our country's security rides on your shoulders.

Beware 'lone wolves' in aftermath of bin Laden killing, advisory says
The advisory says lone offenders who share al Qaeda's ideology are the greatest near-term threat because they are "unburdened by organizational constraints that can slow operational decisions by established terrorist groups."

However, the May 9 advisory obtained by CNN notes that federal law enforcement officials have "no credible information to suggest that a specifically targeted plot is underway."
The document cited the vow in the al Qaeda statement confirming the death of bin Laden which said "the soldiers of Islam" would continue to plan attacks.
