A few things that need to be done:

1. Immigration control. It goes without saying that we need a secure border. But we also need policies that do a better job of keeping out likely terrorists. It's not just a matter of doing background checks. If someone wants to come in from a country where terror groups have been known to be active, or whose governments have sponsored terrorism, the (rather high) burden of proof needs to be on the applicant to demonstrate that he's legit, not on our authorities to show that he's not.

2. The courts. We need to restrain the courts from imposing wide ranges of PC nonsense that have no warrant in the Constitution and no public support. If necessary, Congress should cut off federal-court jurisdiction on the "equal protection" clause and other articles of the Constitution that the courts have mangled beyond recognition.

3. "Civil rights" laws which second-guess hiring and firing decisions. They're completely obsolete. At the very least, they shouldn't apply at all to industries that are in any way vulnerable to terrorism, such as airlines and nuclear power plants.

I guess that'll do for now. I gotta go.
