U.S. News looks into a security increase due to the possibility of a major terrorist attack in the United States. Four major events scheduled during the year–the Los Angeles Summer Olympics, the New Orleans World's Fair, and the national political conventions in Dallas and San Francisco–were potential targets. The article concludes, "Throughout a thousand years of politically inspired violence, experts have agreed that one thing holds true: Success breeds imitation. It is a matter of when and where. And that is what has sent America scrambling as never before to protect itself. The year ahead could test whether the effort to batten down the hatches came in time."
