Is the Terrorist Threat Overblown?
Recently, many people were outraged by the institution of body scanners and pat-downs at airports. Many passengers felt that these security measures went too far and violated their privacy. Also, even before the institution of these devices, travels still had to go through many time-consuming, expensive measure to make sure that they were not carrying weapons on to an airplane. With the addition of body scans or pat-downs, many are beginning to think that the terrorist threat is becoming overblown and that perhaps we should divert the money to preventing other forms of terrorism like nuclear or biological attacks or simply divert the money elsewhere. Other, however, think that we should put all the resources necessary into preventing another 9/11 attack. What do you think?
