Terrorism implications? Sure, but so does pretty much everything. If terrorists inside the US wanted to mess things up they just need to blow up a small targets in BFE, Iowa and the like. Worse, kidnap a few people and behead them. The US would be utterly paralyzed with fear.
Ignoring direct violence? DoS PSAPs so small things like reporting burglaries or helping heart-attack patients fails. Or shit, have you seen the cabling at many datacentres? Take a few of those out and the US Internet would be off for what, weeks? (And that one you can even do remotely.)
My point is that you cannot harden the entire US infrastructure. Saying this car issue "has terrorism implications" is either a tautology or fearmongering.
