Replying to SO I'm sick of Terror Alerts

Today my browser opens up to the usual cnn.com so i know whats going on in the world, and what do ya know, another story on terror alerts.. so here is my rant that I am sick of the fact Al Queda has soo much control over our country and succeeding in their mission of being terrorists of striking terror in the US. When people are afraid to fly, or have extra security because they are afraid of something happening, that is the succession of terrorism. I personally am sick of all the increased provisions taken because of 911 and i think being placed on high alert is bullshit. There are own problems within our country already to be concerned about Al Queda, for instance a kid who was caught at my very own university in Bellingham, WA a place most of you havent even probably heard about that was investigated by the FBI and arrested because he was planning on bombing the US Coast Guard here and also an oil refinery, both in bellingham.. what do you guys think of all this?? i know on the east coast its a little different because you were really close to the twin towers incident, but i personally think its a waste of money for our government to be soooo concerned with. and yes there is always the possibility of 'what if'
