A casual search reveals the FBI and DHS are a pitiful 0 for 40 warning of terror attacks—some of which were specifically about 4th of July threats, none of which materialized in any way.

Your story has been created. You can't see it on the Dashboard, because your own stories aren't visible there. But all other editors just got your story up on-Dash and probably already discussing it.
