We are probably much safer now than we were before - not just because of government actions but because we have received a wakeup call. We now know that we have never actually been safe. We are, and probably always have been the most vulnerable people on Earth simply because of our attitude that that things like that don't happen here - they are things that happen somewhere else. We once believed that distance protected us - we now know that we were lying to ourselves. I think, that regardless of safeguards that have been put in place, we are now more safe than before simply because we are now aware of our vulnerability.
