This is scary. This was a well coordinated attack that usually create a lot of chatter before hand. Unlike lone wolf attacks these are somewhat easier to detect.

The French intelligence and counter terrorism units are either not doing their best or these terrorist are getting much better at covering their tracks.

They knew something was up they just didn't know what.

The weakness of security states is that to "win" the police need a 100% capture rate. The terrorists only have to be successful once.

That depends on how you measure success. Some would say that just avoiding one is a success.
