No, Gracie, I don't. I think our greatest risk comes from within. We've become so afraid of being hurt that we're willing to give up our basic freedoms. That, to me, is far more dangerous than anything that can be done by any terrorist.
Is there a chance that there will be another terrorist attack on American soil? I'd say more than likely. Would I prefer it not happen? You're darn toot in'! Am I willing to give up my right to search and seizure? Freedom of speech? Right to assembly? No way on earth!
I do believe in profiling but real profiling, not stopping someone because they are the wrong skin color, have a hooked nose or wear non-Western clothing. Get the Israelis here and have them teach TSA workers how to profile, what behavior to look for ... Not this search everyone and, should you LOOK Muslim, be prepared for major harassment (and it amazes how many can't tell a Sikh from a Muslim in this nation).
