Ok. I'm back.

We learned our lesson? In your dreams. This country is still as vulnerable to a terrorist attack now, as it was back on September 11, 2001. The only difference between now and then is that I have to take my shoes and my hat off when I get on a plane flight. If terrorists had 5-8 fairly buff guys on a plane today, they could easily overpower the crew and passengers unarmed. Terrorists could easily destroy state capital buildings without much trouble. Even if we “learned our lesson” it doesn’t matter, because there are always new ways of killing people and reeking havoc.

Yes we are but think about this, how come the Washington D.C. isn't a crater right now? Because since the attacks we have upped the active military and intelligence personal in our own country. That's why. How many terrorist plots have been foiled so far? One big one is the "Dirty Bomb" plot that was recently foiled. And how many more have they stopped that we don't know, and never will know about. There is way more going on behind the scenes than you or I will ever know.
-Lesson learned: Just because everything looks fine, doesn't mean that someone isn't planning an attack.
Now even a witress in Georgia (or Alabama, not exactly sure on the state) can trigger a massive response to the slightest lead. Even though it turned out to be nothing, what if it was a plan for an attack.
The difference between the Bush administration and the Clinton one, Clinton waited until everything happened before he acted, Bush is trying to prevent things from happening now.
As for the 5-8 buff guys taking over a plane, unarmed, 130 passengers (fighting for their lives mind you) versus 8, thoses odds tend to favor the passengers don't you think?
