With all the controversy over TSA, and all of the other draconian securities enacted after 9/11, do you think we would have had anymore terrorist attacks had nothing changed in terms of the security we already had pre-9/11?
The FBI was watching several of the hijackers. If anything adding more bureaucracy created more problems than it solves.
Did you know the military was running war games that simulated terrorists hijacking airplanes at the very same time that those events were actually happening?
Do people really think we have NOT had any Terrotist Attacks since 9/11?
Just because TeamObama refuses to call them Terrorist Attacks, doesn't mean they haven't occurred.

The question wasn't whether there have been attacks or not, but rather would we have had more attacks if draconian security measures had not been enacted?
No. As is, there is little evidence that beefed up security actually did anything to help. Let's face it; 9/11 was anomalous . Horrifying all the same, but not the start of a trend. No recent terror attack by ISIS even comes close to what 9/11 was like, either in regards to planning or end result. And I believe that was intentional. It was a show of what they could do, not what they are to continue to do.
All the same, I don't think the added security did much and I think some of the security was excessive.
I don't think anything we have done has prevented any attacks. When the terrorists want to attack us, they will. It would be too easy.
