: : i agree with what you're saying but Airport security is only a small piece of the puzzle. Passivity isn't the answer either. Individual terrorist cells/ organizations should be attacked, not whole countries.

: Since you bring this up, I'll add that wholescale war is a completely ineffective way to find and/or destroy any terrorist cell.

: Did blowing up every mountain in Afghanistan help us find Osama bin Laden? No.

: And has terrorism in Afghanistan ceased? No.

: If intelligence and swift, focused action is called for, so be it. But America's traditional slash-and-burn war tactics ain't gonna prevent terrorism in the least.
