We should all be really concerned given that a majority of the technologies being funded to fight terrorism are nothing but pseudoscience in addition to being contrary to respecting civil liberties. The inability to question the legitimacy of any of these programs is doing more public harm than good. Beyond that, we are putting an enormous amount of power in the hands of a few individuals who despite having the best intentions can still make poor decisions or even cognitively make decisions that knowingly jeopardize public safety. I am worried that there is now no economic incentive for these individuals to prevent violence if their failures and abuses are only awarded with more power and resources. Instead we will just continue to write blank checks for psuedoscience that will further promote a growing divide between the public and their governments.
