The 911 murderers were in the USA for some time. They studied within the USA and learned to fly the jets they would use to murder. It is difficult to detect such people within a country's borders. The infrastructure has to be addressed for the ones that slip through security cracks.
Places of worship are very vulnerable. In the way the killer carried out the task it reminded me of the attacks on the Jewish synagogue in Philadelphia. A single madman with hatred so thick he could not see people, but, only the purpose.

...In all, 49, (click here) people were killed and more than 20 wounded in the March 15 attack on two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch. An Australian man who claimed responsibility for the shootings said in a manifesto that he came to New Zealand only to plan and prepare for the attack....
Unfortunately, this is New Zealand's first attack and it should be it's last. There needs to be legislature passed with funding attached to mandate security at places of worship. I know worshipers like the idea of leaving their security in God's hands, but, obviously when it comes to the evil that lives in the world God does not necessarily see it and protect from it.
In modern days it appears one hate filled man can slip through many cracks, including those God sends to protect the devoted worshipers of the faith.
Places of worship must take measures to protect those that come to carry out their devotions to God under a single roof with people they know and love. This was a massacre. It needs to end with worship that is secure.
