go down this list, check out a few links: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsuccessful_terrorist_plots_in_the_United_States_post-9/11

I saw one that said Dallas and I knew nothing about it, so I clicked:

    Smadi was in the United States illegally, and unaware he was under continuous surveillance, and that the other members of his "sleeper cell" were all Federal agents.[2] The agents in his "sleeper cell" had supplied him with inert chemical, so his bomb had not posed a real threat.[4]

    Immigration officials were trying to determine how Smadi was able to work at a gas station, since he only had a 2007 tourist visa.[1][3]

    Smadi was provided with a fake bomb by FBI agents posing as members of al-Qaeda.

I'm not even trying, here
