“Since 9/11, law-abiding Americans have been subjected to intrusive ‘security’ measures and civil-liberties infringements. We have been forced to pay billions of dollars for the Department of Homeland Security and increasingly militarized police departments. What have we to show for it? Two men were able to detonate bombs at the most prominent point in a major city on its biggest day of the year. Intended or not, the bombing was a thumb in the eye of our so-called protectors. Bruce Schneier has aptly described the post-9/11 measures as ‘security theater.’ Clearly, the emperor has no clothes. Here’s another thing we know: This was a crime, not an act of war.”
