Corporate welfare at its finest - the security measures implemented directly after 9/11 were only to save the ass of the already financially pinched airlines. There are thousands of ways to kill thousands of people at one time in this country and even those "piece of shit terrorists" are smarter than to try the same thing twice. And why would they? If they truly wish to promote fear, wouldn't they be better off demonstrating diversity in ability? And how stupid are we, to concentrate so much effort and finances in one area.
The goal of terrorism is to cause fear. How do we answer it? By being afraid, wasting resourses and giving ourselves a false sense of security.
And who wins?
