At least the public will get a glimpse how their tax Dollars are being spent/wasted (delete as appropriate).

Yep. Like the security theatre at the airports. If they are so worried that liquids in bottles may be mixed to make a bomb, why do they throw them all in the same bin?

Don't get me wrong. I live in the U.S. and, by and large, like it, but this constant fear that pervades gets very tiring after a while.

Keep people in fear and you can control them. These shows send the message that we're under siege. I, as others have stated, am getting a little tired of the 'all the foreigners want to kill us' mentality of the mainstream propaganda BS that passes as entertainment. It's time Joe Public grew up and stopped drinking the kool aid. :curse:

Not to make this an overly political thread, but I think about that often and the definition of a "terrorist", which in it's simplest form is someone who inflicts terror, often to make a political statement or point...

But the effectiveness of terrorists depends on how their targets react. The U.S. is doing itself no favours with their xenophobic, siege mentality.

Me too! (but only with the one 'm')

Dish Network is bickering with the local ABC affiliate and they're not on my air! :curse:

Nets, I guess you don't have that problem? It's a whole regional thing. But you probably have fancier TV than we do.
I'll be mad if we miss Lost when it finally comes back on.
