Feeling secure with Homeland Security? Don't
The clip immediately below is a bit more concise than the original clip I posted so I updated the post. The success rate was 100% at getting bomb making material through security in ten level four federal buildings. Unacceptable.
"CBS -- The federal protective service guards 9,000 facilities and more than a million federal employees. But some serious questions are rising about how secure those buildings really are. Bob Orr reports"
Less than eight years after September 11th, 2001 with new federal agencies designed to "make you feel safe", new laws granting the federal government more power "to protect you", what is the prognosis?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

@ProvokingThought - Yes, a different angle. Thank you for thinking of me.
@mcbery - Their wants vs their abilities would make it more a form of intimidation than a complete ability. The theory of overwhelming response on a few areas would be used to create the illsuion that the military or the peolice or the government could actually control everyone. But we have given up so many freedoms over the years that we have almost been conditioned to sacrifice for the good of the government which is not the concept this country was borne under.
Mass manipulation is how power upi allude to is achieved./
