We havent seen a group of 50 militants take over a city and reck havoc because our surveillance systems can detect such levels of organization. As horrible as this sounds, anyone with an IQ above 60 can plot and kill 30 people because there's not enough signal in the vast noise our communication networks generate to pick up on it. If we can prevent terrorist attacks that kill thousands of individuals we've won.
- kbart 11y agoIf entering a major airport strapped with explosives undetected and blowing up twice killing tens of people isn't a spectacular security failure, I don't know what is. I agree that it's nearly impossible to detect/prevent random shootings/stabbings (like in Paris attacks), but this is not such case.
- matwood 11y agoIn a free society people can move where they please. The explosions happened before the security checkpoints at a very busy airport, so I don't see how this was some security failure. Intelligence failure yes, but airport security? I'm not so sure. Are you suggesting that a perimeter be setup around the entire airport and people are checked before entering the grounds?
