I highly agree with some of the comments on zug.com, namely that life  
involves risk, and we are wasting our time and money trying to make  
the country 100% secure. If it were measurable, I would venture to  
say that the cost of becoming 1% more sure probably grows  
exponentially, so that an effort to be 80% secure would not be too  
expensive, but as one tries to approach 100% the cost sky rockets,  
and civil liberties are ruined.
