We are very, very vulnerable-remember a terror attack happened in Orlando- 1 hour away

Throughout history, the price of safety is a loss of freedom.
I do not claim to have the answer, I just want all to be aware of the question.
Are we prepared for random stops requesting paperwork as the Germans and others did in WWII era?
Once we grant this kind of power it has and will be abused.
Someone suggested guns. I'm not anti gun BUT.
A legal gun owner will be concerned with innocent by standers. A terrorist will and does, pick a crowded spot
and he/she/it is prepared to, expects to, die in their chosen attack.
What has been lost since 9/11? What have we SPENT in terms of DOLLARS and in terms of lost FREEDOM
SOLUTION-I WISH I HAD ONE
HOPE-the terrorist WAR in Ireland went on for centuries till people rose to power and asked the question of why are we killing each other. Sadly it took centuries. With peace, both, "sides" are better off.
I have only questions-NO ANSWERS
