Every time you leave your house you have a chance to be hit by a car. It's many orders of magnitude more likely than to get killed by a terrorist attack. Yet everyone still drives cars.

The fear of terrorism has been used to curtail so many liberties. Always as a temporary measure. Draconian pre-flight security screenings? (seriously, not being allowed to bring water?): "temporary". Expansion of the surveillance state and policing: "temporary".

It's time to start asking wether this is all worth it. The fetishization of "security above all" in modern political rhetoric is a bad thing, in my opinion.

In your buzzword filled rant to sound smart and further your own agenda you have succeeded in being completely up your own ass.

Explain your position.

Which you claim is...?

I stated my position quite clearly. Do you suggest some deeper agenda is at work here?
