Really worrying tbh.
It's scary, methods of attacks have devolved in such a way that it makes it more difficult to track. Law enforcement agencies can track the sales of weapons and suspicious materials that can be used in bombs but what can they do if someone decides to get into a car and drive through a crowd?
