Yep, they have years of experience to deal with terrorist.
France, Germany and Italy have been fighting and winning their war on 
terror. Germany didn't invade the former East-Germany even so the RAF was 
at least partly sponsored by that regime.
Yet, they still got them. The french caught Carlos. 

Furthermore even in 1999 information was passed to the American authorities 
about Mohammad Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi. Both were in the planes that flew 
into the WTC. However the information wasn't used properly.

Sometimes and somethings can be learned from the old countries in EUROPE.
