Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano testified before the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee on February 9, 2011. ” ‘The terrorist threat facing our country has evolved significantly in the last ten years–and continues to evolve–so that, in some ways, the threat facing us is at its most heightened state since those attacks,’ she said… ‘As I have said before, we cannot guarantee that there will never be another terrorist attack, and we cannot seal our country under a glass dome… However, we continue to do everything we can to reduce the risk of terrorism in our nation.’ ”
