We now live in a different world

No, we don't. We live in the same one we've always lived in. No dangers here that weren't possible
before. We're just a little more aware of a vulnerability we've always had. What is new is our
reaction to it.

The numbers just don't support the kind of response we're giving. Almost 50,000 people
die in the US every year because of traffic accidents. Ho hum. Less than 4000 die in a single, highly
visible event and we invade another country, implement no-fly lists, randomly search
little old ladies and look cross eyed at anyone that would dare try to see family off at the gate.

How 'bout a no-drive list? Now that would save some lives....
