What's this?

How much security is enough?

Terrorists attack.
News pumps up the attack.
People overreact.
We attack Iraq and create a mess.

More attacks.
More news pumping up the fear.
People continue to cry for a response.
We create TSA.

Repeat.

At some point, you need to consider how much freedom are you willing to give up for security.
