National Paranoia

I'm watching the financial shows this morning. We've got the typical paranoia crowd and couple of guys who are advising us to Live. I'm thinking Hey! At last a guy with a head for liberty. Two of them actually. They advise us to stop trying to regulate everything out of commission. Good Advise.

Then I read about the train that employees just walked away from in San Diego. Then reading on, this wasn't some fluke, it appears to be policy!

Officials told NBC 7/39 that they were concerned a terrorist could have stolen the train. Investigators discovered a note inside the train that stated that the train's crew had worked their maximum hours allowed so they left the train and got a taxi to take them home. Officers interviewed two train employees about the incident.

So instead of maintaining custody of the control centers of the train and providing security for those in key areas, they try to control the passengers on the passenger trains only?

It is time that we realized that the government's response to terrorism is not about security, but about control.
