After more than a decade of revamping the United States counterterrorism apparatus, there remains critical work to be done. Swelling budgets and added components of government bureaucracy are tools of the past thatshould be left behind. The United States must marshal the resources of state and local governments to supplement and augment robust federal counterterrorism efforts in the face of an ever-changing threat.
