The point of terrorism is not to “destroy.” It is to terrify. And for eight and a half years now, the dominant federal government response to terrorist threats and attacks has been to magnify their harm by increasing a mood of fear and intimidation.
It always seems to me that the entire security apparatus is misguided, incompetent and going in entirely the wrong direction. Every time we lose another freedom in the name of “security” it’s like our own forces are doing the work of Al Qaida for them.
