As this article states, you are really in little or no danger statistically of ever being harmed in a terrorist attack which raises the question of why we are spending so much money and literally shredding the Constitution over something which does not really matter... think about it.

IMO, this was the goal of Al Queada. Get us to spend so much on defense that it breaks us financially. Once we are broke we can longer interfere in Middle Eastern affairs. 9/11 got us into perpetual warfare. That was bin Laden's plan all along. He learned this when the Soviets fell apart spending all their money in Afghanistan.
Only real question for me is how long before unending warfare breaks us?

I never did trust that Pillsbury Dough Boy....always chuckling.....always around......knew we couldn't trust that fat, rhymes with "puck"....

Except that terrorists are real, and kill thousands of innocent people each year, the dough boy kills no one.
Maybe terrorists arent being very successful because we spend so much time and money on making sure they arent successful.
Call it a hunch..
That is all it is, a hunch. Truth is TSA has done nothing to stop anyone and Homeland Security is a bad joke.
There is one hell of a lot of profit to be made from scaring people and the government along with their private contractor buddies are cashing in on the American public, while trashing the Constitution and making peasants out of what were once free citizens.
over something which does not really matter... think about it.
Could you look in the eye of someone who lost a family member to terrorism and say it doesn't really matter?
By that logic, we shouldn't fund research into cures for rarer diseases. If not many people get the disease, it doesn't really matter.

I'm with you.
In the overall scheme of things it does not matter. Except for the people who are getting rich selling the non existant danger to the public. The US government is soaking taxpayers for $75 billion a year for a fight against terriorism that is less likely to kill you than nearly any other way of dying. In fact, there is credible evedence that when information of terrorist activity is reported as is the case in Boston, the authorities ignore it, alowing the attacks to happen in order to justify their existance. Russian authorities warned the U.S. government about Tamerlan Tsarnaev multiple times before he bombed the Boston Marathon on April 15.
An entire industry has sprung up to sell an array of products, including high-tech motion sensors and fully outfitted emergency operations trailers. The market is expected to grow to $31 billion by 2014.
Like the military-industrial complex that became a permanent and powerful part of the American landscape during the Cold War, the vast network of Homeland Security spyware, concrete barricades and high-tech identity screening is here to stay.
It is not about protecting citizens, it is about profits. Follow the money it will always lead to the truth.
