It bothers me when people believe that every thing can be solved if we spend enough money. There is no feasible way to prevent every act of terror or the death that results from that act of terror. Take crime for example. We could put a cop on every corner in New York City to prevent it, but that would require so much money that it could never be done.

On another note, 40,000 Americans die each year in auto accidents while while lass than 4,000 have died in 9/11 and the military action that followed. Why don't we spend that $12 billion plus 2 billion a year (the cost of fitting every plane with a missile defense system) on car safety. We would save thousands more lives doing that than attempting to stop a missile from hitting a commercial air liner.

You have a better chance of dying in a car crash than in an act of terror

Open your eyes

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
