I'd agree we've gotten totally paranoid. That's what happened following the attack on Pearl Harbor. That's what happend following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

How the hell can a bunch of enemy pilots fly right into our airspace and bomb our fleet? Because we let them. We didn't know it could happen, so we were unprepared.

Same thing today. How the hell can a group of murderously determined men hijack planes and use them as missles? Because we let them. We didn't know it could happen, so we were unprepared.
