How did terrorist threats evolve since September 11 with artificial intelligence and encrypted messages

in the morning September 11, 2001I was in Del Rio, Texas, just one week of graduation from experimental training. It was one day began like anything else as I was looking forward to what was supposed to be a festive start in my flight.

Then everything changed. The horrific terrorist attacks on our nation not only changed the course of my life, but also revealed the battle of our generation.

After graduation, I went to work as a fighter pilot in American Air ForceAnd flying combat missions in F-22 against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. After twenty -four years, the lessons that I learned from that fateful day remain and during my combat services engraved in memory, and it is a reminder that our enemies are always watching, joint and waiting with patience in the shadow.

This reality directs my work today as a member of Congress and head of the Sub -Security Committee in the House of Representatives on combating terrorism and intelligence, as disturbing trends confirm that terrorist threats are still very real. Our system is red, warning us to take action.

Ready, not crazy: what you need to know to protect yourself from a potential terrorist attack

Biden administration reckless Open border policies The dangerous weaknesses were created in our national security. Under his watch, the dangerous actors crossed with well -known terrorist ties in our country without discovery. Between April 2021 and January 2025 alone, more than 50 jihadist terrorist cases were reported in 30 states.

This threat, customs and border protection recorded nearly 400 meetings with individuals on Terrorism monitoring list During the same period. While the administration of President Donald Trump has taken decisive measures to identify and deport many of these individuals, the disturbing truth remains. We still do not know the number of terrorists who have slipped through cracks and now lives between us.

The most anxious is how terrorist threats to our country have evolved greatly since 9/11, and have become more technological and serious.

Today, terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and other advanced technologies and global networks are exploited within the digital field to operate the war in ways that are difficult to discover and stop. It carries out encrypted messaging applications such as Telegram to communicate and coordinate attacks, in addition to taking advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) to spread advertising and recruit and devote the only actors.

The stability of our great nation depends on preventing political violence

These emerging technologies have become the new battlefield, and we must respond with urgency and accuracy.

For this reason, I lead the accusation in Congress to combat these bad actors through smart and meaningful legislation. The “Terrorism Risk Evaluation Law will require artificial intelligence” department department Internal security (DHS) for annual reviews on how to benefit from terrorist groups Amnesty International to spread advertising and recruit the followers and attacks of the plan.

In addition, the “law confronting extremism and terrorism online” would enhance our defenses by assigning the Ministry of National Security to conduct annual assessments of threats to the risks of terrorism raised by terrorist organizations that exploit foreign and foreign mobile messages applications on the desktop.

The United States cannot fail to knee. Our national security depends on our ability to remain proactive on these advanced dynamic threats quickly. Although these bills will help us keep us at the top of the curve, there is a lot to do. We must also continue to support bold leadership that gives priority to our national security. This type of leadership has already provided by Trump’s president.

From his first day in office, the president Donald Trump He gave priority to combating terrorism by securing our borders and deporting the internal threats that President Joe Biden allowed to enter the country. The recently signed historical budget budget package in Republican law in Congress and the administration’s commitment to securing the country reflects. 5.91 billion dollars is allocated to the internal defense systems material, and 46 billion dollars to end the border wall.

President Trump also canceled President BidenDangerous limits on anti -terrorism strikes, and the restoration of decision -making authority for leaders in this field, rather than forcing our men to rely on Washington, DC, Permonds. Thanks to this type of leadership, 272 jihadist terrorists have been eliminated all over the world since January 20.

In the era of constantly advanced threats for our country, we must Remember a lesson 9/11Our freedom is not free. It requires continuous vigilance, fixed determination and willingness to confront evil before it reaches our beaches.

We must maintain this lesson at the forefront of our minds and as a guideline in our policies. They turn a party or negotiate the position of weakness only encourage our enemies.

We must never forget that day, and we must remain uncompromising in our design Prevent such a tragedy From ever happens again.
