Terrorism in the US is now impossible.

Terrorism is never impossible- that's one of the reasons all the "security" measures (patriot act et al) now in place are so ridiculous and frightening.
That's not to say we - or you, america- should hide under our/your bedclothes and not come out. Terrorism may not be impossible, but it is still rare, despite what Bush and Blair would have you believe. Save your fear for something with a more significant statistical chance of killing you, like a bizarre laundry-realted accident or being savaged by an enraged giant mutant squirrel or being drafted into the armed forces and sent to the middle east.
Besides, making you live in
terror is what
terrorsts want you to do. And getting us to give up our cherished freedoms in the name of supposed security is something else they would regard as a victory as well.
