Federal prosecutors have charged 80 men and women around the country in connection with the Islamic State. So far, 26 have been convicted. Men outnumber women in those cases by about 6 to 1. The average age of the individuals is 26. One is a minor. The FBI says that, in a handful of cases, it has disrupted plots targeting U.S. military or law enforcement personnel.

Classic terrorist demographic, men in their 20's.

I do wonder if US intelligence is more capable than European. I know the pool of potential terrorists is lower as a percentage of population, but there seem to be a LOT of arrests of these people before they commit their crimes, and only a tiny percentage appear to get to execution point before interception.

interception of a plot has to be easy when you're in on the conception.
