Burning money (in fact, burning LOTS of money) on security technology, on “protecting” the public from themselves has NEVER caught one single terrorist; probably never will.  Does anyone have any idea how much investigative, “good old” policing this would have bought?  Good old policing, the kind that has stopped countless crimes – some of which might have been terrorism.

Sadly, I’m left with a fragment from the 1982 Tears for Fears song “Mad World.”

"And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very mad world."

Good luck.
