For those who are interested in the big picture, the September issue of The Atlantic has in interesting article: "Is America Any Safer?".

Quote:
Since 9/11, the United States has spent $1 trillion to defend against al-Qaeda and ISIL, dirty bombs and lone wolves, bioterror and cyberterror. Has it worked?

The answer seems to be that we have made significant progress in some areas, but in other areas we still have a very long way to go. As always, our perception of the threats is not always consistent with the actual threats. Finding the right balance between cost, effectiveness, and civil liberties is a huge challenge. And as always, the dreaded "P" word plays a huge role.
