Where does it end? When the only people allowed to venture outdoors are those who pass a full military background check and submit to general anesthesia and a comprehensive cavity search, will that be excessive? After all-- anyone could explode at any moment, yes? No price can be too high. That's clearly absurd. But it became absurd well before then. If we are willing to grit our teeth and do the math, almost any cost is too high to prevent the statistical non-event of a fatal terrorist attack. In my country, good, innocent people, people with families and careers and dreams for the future, die every single day in senseless traffic accidents that could have been avoided if our incredibly safe public transportation were a little bit cheaper, or just a little less stressful. Every day, someone's son or daughter or mother or fiancee doesn't come home, ever again, because... "Anyone could be a terrorist." Sorry, I'm not buying any of this "that one time out of ten" bullshit. If the security forces are indeed tasked with helping us to feel safe, they are doing an admirably shit job of it.
