>Police dismissed the [bomb] as the work of “boys or pranksters.”<p>My father tells me stories about how he witnessed people openly and actively "recruiting terrorists" in public in San Francisco in the 1970s.<p>He said they were just standing around with signs and pamphlets, calling out and trying to get you to sign up to their terrorist campaign.<p>Just as the religious zealots you see on the streets today that are mostly ignored.<p>The world has really changed, and fast.
