MILLIONS SPENT ON LOCAL HOMELAND SECURITY, CHALLENGES REMAIN

In New York City, NYPD's anti-terror teams rolled out in a show of force. It has become an unfortunate but somewhat routine display there. We've not seen that kind of roll out in Houston.

Just six months ago, two alleged terrorists tried to kill people at a prophet Muhammed cartoon contest near Dallas.

In that case, the FBI sent a warning to Garland police three hours before the attack but did not know the men were closing in until they showed up guns blazing. The FBI had investigated one of them for 8 years and picked up one suspect's social media posts about the event, but then they went quiet just like the Paris attack.
