TRAC Report - Criminal Terrorism Enforcement in the United States During the Five Years Since the 9/11/01 Attacks:

Given the widely accepted belief that the threat of terrorism in all parts of the world is much larger today than it was six or seven years ago, the extent of the recent decline in prosecutions is unexpected. "
