This is all so much nonsense anyway. We're better spending worry and resources over security at airports, which, from what I've seen and heard, is still pretty much of a joke.

Well, the costs of that, in blood and treasure, have become tragically apparent, if only one has the eyes to see and the will and courage to face the truth.
