There are fundamental differences between civil disobedience and terrorism. It's much more efficient to find people after the fact than it is to prevent such attacks. However, there is also a tiny number of terrorists in the world and a huge reserve of people willing to disrupt systems so prevention is far more effective when dealing with anonymous than it is terrorists.

PS: Want to attack the FBI, just set them as your homepage. It costs them real money, and does not end up with you in jail. Thus the appeal. (Note: It also tells them who you are...)

>It costs them real money,

Actually, it costs us real money. They're financed from taxpayers just like every other federal agency :(

First of all it's pennies, and second of all it's the taxpayer's money, it doesn't cost FBI a thing.

True, but to clarify. I was talking about the wide group of people living outside the US, that 'hate' the US, but don't exactly feel like blowing themselves up.

For someone living in the US direct attacks are largely meaningless activity. If you want to change the system start a movement, a mime, or even just a blog. People may notice something like 9/11, but it simply reinforces existing beliefs. Because change takes ideas not just loud noises and death.

A mime?

Probably he means "a meme".

(Else, he talks about disruption of the French status quo)
