Re: Fear Not America, Janet Napolitano Is On The Job
Hopefully nobody is saying we could stop them all...stopping every conceivable attack is impossible...stopping some/any, or at least the most obvious, is what they try to do every day.
As they say, if somebody wants to break into your house, they will...that doesn't mean you don't lock your doors and windows and stop newpaper delivery while you are away. When you learn the robbers look for lights always on, you get timers. As our intelligence provides more insight into what terrorists might be trying, the rules/focus will likely change. They don't advertise so the risk of a new tactic is always there.
They tried to blow up the WTC from the parking garage and failed..we put in a bunch of barriers and rules so they fly a plane into it...who knows what the crazies are thinking up next...perhaps filling Underdog with something and blowing him up during the Macy's parade.
Although, I do hear our efforts have reduced the al qaeda goose training program.
The idea that we can stop any and all attacks against the US (or even in the narrower scope of Aviation Security) is at odds with the very nature of the system - the whole reason for it to exist - travel - by nature introduces huge vulnerabilities to the system.
