nothing short of a Orwellian state where there are video cameras and robots watching us 24/7 is going to assure our protection.

I'm not looking for a certainty, and civil defense isn't Orwellian, it's civilian. We can considerably minimize our risks with some moderate preparation and guidance. We haven't had it.

I don't think anyone knows what we've done or not done. What is the best deterrent? I don't know. We have a free society that allows people to do just about anything they wish to do, with the freedom to experience the aftermath of their actions.

I don't know how you can come up with a national defense that is completely fool proof from all attack unless you are living in a totalitarian state. Short of that would be in arming all non-felons in the USA.

Careful!

The current National I.D. Card is definitely Orwellian!
