Terror at the Levees

I came across this letter to the editor while reading The Economist:
"SIR – New Orleans's mayor should have called the hawks in Washington before Katrina struck and told them that 30 al-Qaeda-looking types were at the levees. Help would then surely have arrived in time."
-Stein Glorvigen. Skjetten, Norway
I makes me wonder. Just what was Homeland Security's plan in the event the levees were maliciously breeched? Is it possible they didn't have a plan?

I feel pretty unsettled about this. We're spending so much money on security and I don't feel any safer.
