Boing Boing: How to really fight terrorists: Anti-terror

Boing Boing: How to really fight terrorists: Anti-terror

After having flown on a plane, and finding out after the fact that we accidentally traveled with three forbidden items (toothpaste, moisturizer and, heaven forbid, chapstick!), I'm pretty much sold on the argument that this article is making.

It's time we calm down and fight terror with antiterror. This does not mean that we simply roll over and accept terrorism. There are things our government can and should do to fight terrorism, most of them involving intelligence and investigation -- and not focusing on specific plots.

But our job is to remain steadfast in the face of terror, to refuse to be terrorized...

I'm sold. Where can we get a dose of sanity from?
