As you know since the 90's Americans have been on the lookout for potential terrorists and terrorist organizations, this has become even more true after the recent Boston bombing. They targeted life. "They targeted liberty. Now somebody has attacked pursuit of happiness", says Ron Fournier of the National Journal. As we can see terrorists prefer to hit us at home, such is the case with 9/11 and the beltway sniper, they targeted everyday people in and effort to take Americans loved ones and their peace of mind. Terrorists work in a sort of almost unstoppable way, being only a few people that get into the country undetected can make an impact large enough to rock the nation. "knee-buckling blows that led to an obsession over domestic security", is how Ron Fournier describes the terrorist attacks made on Americans in the last 20 years. We have all seen the jumps in security, from schools to airports, people seem to be more alert and almost paranoid of what could happen at any given time. We live in a constant state of alert, and try as hard as we do we will most likely never be able to stop the few that slip through wishing to cause our nation harm.
