More Reason for Discomfort
While "terrorism professionals" scope and grope everyone, young and old, this news comes in. When Anders Breivik bought his explosive ingredients, it popped his name up on an international intelligence list, but no action was taken. Reason: "It was a legal transaction". I suppose you can say the same about Tim McVeigh. To my simple mind, "Is it legal" isn't my first choice for question to ask. Rather, "is this someone who'd want this for legitimate purposes?" In short, even the monitoring methods they use aren't analyzed with any obvious intelligence. Only makes the present method of feeling up people indiscriminately seem more daft. Because now I think "will they even know the right thing to do if they EVER strike gold?" I just doubt it.
