Crying Wolf

Remember the story of the boy that cried wolf? He cried wolf one too many times and nobody listened and it was when he really needed some help. Yesterday’s events and the events in Miami and all these breaking news stories of coke can bombs being found are falling on numb ears. I for one believe it is used to keep us all in fear that we may never be able to escape the trauma/drama of September 11 which is such a shame. I believe the government can do a better job of tracking and checking out these minor incidents before we the public have to know anything about them especially when they more than likely will turn out to be empty threats. Foreigners and for that matter anyone living inside the US will likely know better to try and pull off such an event like September 11 2001 again. How it happened the first time is beyond me.

Every time you hear one of these breaking news bits concerning a suspicious package being found the diminishing effects of it increases. The reason being is these types of events like September 11 probably take major planning. Not only major planning, but major time to plan. During that time of planning I am quite sure someone gets wind of it and it is reported to who it needs to be reported to (for a small fee of course) or government agencies who keep their ear to the ground check for unusual activity that point to threats to national security . This being the case there is no need for the public to hear about these behind the scenes activities seeing they can block such cataclysmic events from being launched before it has a chance to be executed. If there is the possibility that something or someone slipped through the cracks and there was no prospect of capturing those planning attacks against the US, then a warning should be sent out over the airwaves to alert the public. Otherwise we will continue to be blackmailed by empty threats
