Anyone remember the Simpson?s episode where a single Bear wonders into town and everyone freaks out so they force City Hall to spend millions of dollars on a state of the art Bear-Patrol. Then everyone in town stood outside and patted themselves on the back at how well the new Bear-Patrol was working because no more Bears had come into Springfield since. But as Lisa pointed out, to believe that the Bear-Patrol was working was specious reasoning, no other Bears had ever come into town so there is very little reason to believe more would suddenly come lumbering in and by the towns logic the rock lying at Her feet was protecting Springfield from Tigers since no Tigers have ever been seen.
But what does all of that have to do with post 9/11 and anti-terrorism laws? I clearly remember all those Terrorist attacks America was being slaughtered with every other month leading up to 9/11. So obviously 2 years of peace must mean the protective measures are working like a charm.
