4 yrs after 9/11, don't you feel safer?
<<snip>>

The panel's report card gave the government 12 B's, 12 D's, nine C's, five F's, one A- and two incompletes. The A- was for tackling terrorism financing; the incompletes were for reforms under way for the CIA director and the terrorist travel strategy, due in two weeks.

F's were cited for the lack of an adequate radio band for first responders, poor airline passenger pre-screening, the "burying" of the overall intelligence budget within the defense budget, and coalition standards for terrorist detention.

2. i didn't feel safe
4 years prior to 9/11. i spent lots of time traveling in europe. i was in paris when the mairie (city hall was bombed) and just missed the bombing of the cafe on the via veneto. there were hijackings and murders at the olympics over 25 years ago.

it was a matter of time before they got us here.

3. Oh yes. Especially with the new airline rules.
Small scissors, screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers...no problem. They aren't considered "dangerous" any more. Yeah, right.
