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.
