    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.

        I don’t disagree. My point is about how we measure success. For a state apparatus that is meant to prevent terrorism, the lack of airplane based terrorism is not necessarily a sign that it’s not needed. It can also be a sign of it’s success.

        However, it’s a giant organization with lots of useless parts, too. Like parting down grandma, or more likely abuela.
