    When it’s an agency that’s about prevention, the lack of terrorism incidents is not really a failure on their part. All the security theatre nonsense is obviously wasteful but that is a different point.

      Prevent WHAT?

      Something that already happened? The FBI knew about the hijackers. They LET it happen.

      We’ve already fixed the problem with secure cockpit doors. There is no need to pat down grandma on her way to Disneyland.

        Prevention of terrorist attacks is the point. Having no terror attacks doesn’t mean there would be none without them. As I said , security theatre, patting down grandma, is not the success. I’d be inclined to listen to the experts. However, I’m worried this administration no longer has any.

          So we agree that anything can be used for good or evil and this is now being used for evil.

          I can live with that.
