Nobody saw politicians trying to leverage terrorism as an excuse to further backdoor everything and demand an end to encryption coming a mile off.

@cyberpotato A police response to a military threat always appears overbearing and oppressive. Since the police are enjoined from naked force, the powers of surveillance, investigation and arrest are expanded and abused to take its place.

@somercet @cyberpotato the threat isn't even real, it's just completely insane overreaction since one freak incident with a high death toll.

1. The threat is entirely real and dangerous.
2. The death toll was equal to Pearl Harbor.

Here is the other thing... what could they have really done to prevent this? The guy used a car... if he didn't have access to a knife then he might choose different tools. He could have used an axe and sharpened it. It's not that difficult. He could have chosen completely randomly too... if he was intent on dying, then it's not difficult to play as an ordinary person and one day go insane with your own car and tools. You don't need contact with anyone else to do this.

1. The threat is negligible. The threat is nonexistent if you live in the countryside.
2. Pearl Harbor was a military incident where military personnel were attacked and killed by other military servicemen.

Wrong. American Airlines 77 struck the Pentagon, a military installation. United 93 was headed for Washington, D.C. to strike the White House (Executive) or Capitol Hill (Legislature) before the passengers stormed the cockpit. The only reason the WTC planes hit first is because Boston is closer to NYC than D.C., and was the starting point for all the planes used. Try to not rewrite reality in public fora.
ISIL is the end state that al Qaeda was aiming for: a terror state in the Middle East. The strike on the U.S. was a strike to gain legitimacy, and it worked: AQ has had high numbers in the ME where ever they don't actually have control.
ISIL would be further along is Russia was not pounding ISIL (and especially client Assad's enemies). The U.S. is also backing anti-Assad, anti-ISIL forces. Syria, under Iranian direction, poured jihadis into Iraq, and is now eating the blowback. @hardbass2k8 @cyberpotato
