James Scalzo I think Ben is saying the whole country went completely ape shit for absolutely no reason. Governments used the opportunity to gain greater control, and all the hysteria was for nothing. Seal teams can take the fight to the bad guys, and the FBI or CIA can try to uncover plots, and that's about it. There were no more attacks. Average Joe had zero reason to change their lives at all, yet people went completely ape shit. The chance of someone dying in a terrorist attack are unbelievably small, but you'd never think that based on reactions. That cheeseburger has a 50% chance of eventually killing you. Nobody cares.

@lm3049 In Canada the PM does a daily briefing that take ages. Not a goddman thing gets said, and the majority of the questions come from the publicly funded media, so of course they are going to lob absolute softballs every time. It's so gross.
