This is not the first foray into combat swimmer attacks by wannabe terrorist frogmen. In 2003, DHS warned of an Al Qaeda-based scuba threat and ASG explored underwater attacks in 2004. Fortunately, successful swimmer attacks require a higher level of experience and competence than the typical terrorist can muster. And the complete failure of this attack is probably a better deterrent than any other counter-measures against future attempts.
