That's waaaaay above both my pay grade and my experience. I'd guess the Intel people would make that call. Us front-liners will just continue to follow orders.
But I don't think anyone here is attacking you as being a bad person or even bad employee.
Operational people may have their shortcomings, but I (and I suspect many others on this forum) would argue that the problem isn't really on the operational side...The strategic risk assessment (right at the top) is the main thing that's completely flawed (assuming that terrorists will do exactly what they've done in the past, thinking that "more of the same" security is the way forward and doing sweet FA on eliminating the things that cause terrorism).
