If the September 11 attacks required a high level of sophistication, the recent Paris attacks paled in comparison. They could have been perpetrated by anyone, without state-of-the-art means of communications.
A simple meeting of the attackers and agreeing on a strike time would have sufficed, which means that future similar attacks can be carried out totally undetected, just like most mass shooting currently are in the USA.
Intelligence can only follow suspects closely, but this is time and manpower intensive and very hard to implement.
This means that a Paris-type attack might be the new norm, until governments start addressing the root causes of problems instead of just reacting to their symptoms...
