Beowulf, I'm not sure how old you are, but this was the case back when I was in High School. I graduated in 1991 and the ASVAB as well as recruiters were in our schools back then. The test, nor recruiters are nothing new in schools. This isn't something new.
As for terrorists, they are nothing new (except bringing it to US soil). Terrorism against the US has been around as long as I can remember. Being a kid, I didn't quite know what those images on TV meant but I do remember them.
There is a news story that came out today about a large weapons smuggling ring that was busted trying to smuggle large weapons into the US. The story can be found HERE
