Is the Taliban a Threat to the US Mainland?

[tekisui]

Is the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan a threat to the United States? I am asking about the mainland, where most of us are sitting and typing from. I am not asking about whether they engage US troops in their neighborhood. I am asking are they an actual credible threat to the security of the United States?

When was the last Taliban attack in the US?

The same to those voting no, for that matter.
