Back in the Nixon years, a real threat to National Security was the Weather Underground Organization (WUO). Made up of hippies, yippies and neo-anarchists, they were for the most part just bored middle class white kids who read just enough Proudhon and Kropotkin to be dangerous. With Vietnam and Watergate going on, they declared war on the federal and state governments and made a few high profile bombings to include the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol, and NYPD Headquarters.
