unfortunatly, its true. i was nearly blown up twice by the ira. only due to a sixth sense, did i avoid it. at the last minute i said dont feel like going..
just look at what the terrorism has done, made less visitors into america, security has increased massively, people are suspected because of their skin colour. people who visit and like the country, feel like criminals, i know i do.
i have never been in trouble in my life, yet i feel like it.
all this security can help, but it has to be enough not an over reaction, look at the liquid bombs planned, it never happened, they just said they would do it. and now all liquids are banned unless they are bought in the terminal on the other side of the security. (the exceptions is babies milk)
look at your civil liberties, they are being eroded by the very people who are there to protect you. sometimes the cure is worse than the disease..
the london bombers, the day after everyone was back to work, saying he arent going to let some idiots beat us.. we are going to do what we were doing yesterday, and essentially fuck 'em.
i am not saying what happened wasnt horrific, but i do think sometimes the security extras cause more disruption more chaos than an actual attack.

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.â€
