I have been looking up pressure cookers for over a year. Good thing I didn't need a backpack. |
No system is 100% perfect. There will be occasional errors but how would you feel if that task force had uncovered a bomb plot that was plotted to explode in a venue that members of your family planned to attend. I will gladly let NSA read any email or monitor any phone call to keep every one as safe as possible. Unless you are involved in defending the USA from attacks, you have no idea what evil there is in the world that is actively plotting to attack us every single day. The NSA and other government agencies should be applauded for their success in keep us all safe.
