"'For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply, because it is so easy to do,' Thompson said. 'We are importing a lot of food from the Middle East, and it would be easy to tamper with that.'"
Thompson also wonders why the little men that live under his bed have not ever bitten his toes, why the sky has not fallen... for the life of him he cannot understand? duh! and duh! again.
The basic story:
man 1: waving big red flag
man 2: why are you waving the big red flag
man 1: I'm keeping the elephants away
man 2: there isn't a elephant within 5000 miles!
man 1: and there won't be so long as I keep waving this flag! this thing is really effective!
Permit me to add a bit of biology to this whole mess: the reason we do NOT helter skelter kill one another, steal, main, etc, is because that would be very non productive to the species survival. Same reason our dogs do NOT bite us, etc. Has to do with homeostasis: self regulation of a system, steady state.
Any one of us could create mayhem at this moment. We do not. We are wired NOT to do that. We think about it, it scares us that we think about it, but we do NOT do it. It's the way we are designed. It's how life works.

Thompson's comment removed the need for a terrorist attack: he has planted the idea. Yes, so in that manner, Tommy's words constitute a terrorist attack. Actually, the patriot act would support that interpretation. If you threatened such an act, you could be prosecuted. Tommy has effectively done the same thing.
How dumb is that?
I've discussed stuff like this with people: people are actually willing to put up with ALL kinds of shit against the slightest possibility. (More biology at work, I think)
