Seriously, fark the party lines and back slapping. The world is becoming a much more dangerous place for everyone. This is not GWBs fault or Clinton's fault. The sad fact is that there are people that wish harm on other people. Always have, always will. The problem is how to keep deadly weapons including WMDs, and the means to deploy them, out of their hands. This isn't the 1900's anymore. We can't just pretend these people don't exist or that they are not motivated enough to pull the ****e off.

Imagine yourself as POTS, what means are you willing to employ in attempt to avoid a major event occuring in one our cities?

So yes cool chick, you are correct that some of this smacks of hysteria, but don't write it off completely. Today we might be safe, and commuting on the I-5 the most dangerous threat to my safety, but that does not minimize the terrorist threat which I believe to be very real. The harder we work this now the better cause it won't be getting any easier.
