Our FBI stops terrorists attacks every year. A lot actually. There was a documentary on a lot of the stuff that they catch before we know about it. They are also responsible for all of the LEO reviews for state and local authorities. Source : friends dad was fbi

Please cite the documentary. That conflicts with my understanding that they've only prevented a very small number of attacks.
