So why are Americans convinced that it wil have no effect?
To be honest I think a lot of things have been done just to make people feel better, rather than improve things.

This sort of 'silly overreaction's has happened a lot in the UK too. A few years back all the newspapers had reports of 'killer dog's so many dogs were banned and new laws brought in. I think at most it was only 3 cases of dog bits, which would have never been reported except at the time it seemed to sell papers.

In the UK we pointlessly sent troops around an airport. I suspect it was to make us all more fearful.

We in the UK have been brought up with terrorism, but to be fair the USA has not, and I guess, if I was in the USA it would have been a shock. In truth, we should not need to improve security because of our past. If we do, then, serious questions should be asked why.
