| I don't think we are. I think we're less safe for obvious reasons. We now have enraged the middle east and extended ourself too far in Iraq, but we haven't actually changed the most important security aspects here at home, the borders, the ports, immigration, etc.. We may not be attacked again with planes because of security measures, but it certainly wouldn't be hard for people to sneak into the country with explosives, or buy the materials here, and start a string of suicide attacks in malls or at Starbucks or whatever. We're not prepared for shit like that. | ||||

| There is unlikely to be a major difference in how safe people are. The major reason is terrorism has never been a major threat to most people in the US. While it certainly should be taken seriously and not ignored, it isn't as big a threat as other other dangers which continue to persist. Cliffs: Driving to work > Terrorist plot | ||||
