I think these studies should be done, but the results needn't be publicized, rather they should be addressed. Seems like the only thing they really accomplish in the public domain, is to increase the anxiety level of the public. >>> Well, they haven't increased the public's 'anxiety level' enough to cause the public to demand action. >>> Public seems to be drifting in a 'what, me worry' kind of haze... believing that because their politicians have given a lot of speeches, they've actually improved security.... >>> Any potential terrorists, of course, have no need for these 'studies' as our vulnerabilities are widely known. With maybe 0.05% of all cargo containers being inspected prior to American port-fall... I doubt terrorists are losing any sleep over our disfunctional 'missile defense' system.
