The FBI is concerned with the recruitment of teenagers by ISIS and other terrorist groups. Some have even been reported as being as young as age 15. Although the FBI monitors those that travel to the Middle East they do not keep track of those who travel to Europe where they can then easily travel to Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries. Right now the government is trying to find and remove all threats that they find. However, the agency is still concerned with terrorist groups within the United States. They are also facing questions from the public on their ethics of invading the privacy of American citizens.
Quite frankly, terrorists deeply worry me. I am very concerned that there is going to be more attacks on U.S. soil no matter how hard the government cracks down on security and finding threatening groups. I know that no one likes the government prying into their lives, but it may be worth it to neutralize terrorists. However, I fear that this power may also be abused in the future. I guess that only time will tell.

I agree Ashley. The threat of terrorism in the United States is alive and real - and we MUST do something to stop it. Thankfully, that's why we have the FBI and CIA. They are the ones who are protecting us at home while our troops are oversees.
