The last time the public had that sudden sense of vulnerability, the government did everything in their power to stoke those anaphylactic fires. Panetta wants more money, pure and simple, and he knows that fear of the unknown is the best way to get sound bites and the Congressional ear.
They don't want smart - otherwise we'd already be doing the smart thing.

I think Panetta partly wants money, but even more, wants laws changed so that privately-operated infrastructure has to have certain security provisions. His agency can't compel it without a law. History has shown that market forces are not always sufficient to guard against catastrophic events.
