Setting all political correctness aside, all worrying about "rights of privacy", worrying about hurting peoples feelings and from a purely "the end justify the means" perspective, how can terrorists be defeated? Is it even possible? Or can it only be minimized? There will come a day when its here in the US again, school bombings, air/food supply disrupted, dirty nukes--how bad will it have to get before we take the steps necessary?
