The Terror Threat No One Saw Coming After 9/11

Newsweek reflects on the evolving nature of terrorist threats post-9/11, emphasizing how the simplicity of the 9/11 attacks, using basic tools like box cutters, highlighted vulnerabilities in security measures. In the two decades since, technological advancements such as drones and artificial intelligence have made destructive capabilities more accessible to non-state actors. Kerry Chávez, an international security expert, explains that the proliferation of dual-use technologies has created a 'supply-side inversion,' allowing more groups to engage in asymmetric warfare. This has stretched global security resources thin, as traditional defenses struggle to adapt to new forms of threat.
