America's Obsession with Security

America is obsessed with security. They over react to imagined treat. When I was there, there were Fall-Out shelters where people could take refuge in an unlikely event of a nuclear attack. They tested the air raid siren every week to make sure it would not fail when the need arises. My daughter who went to school in Tenn. two years ago told me things like Red Alert, air port security and how she was detained for an hour when her name did not appear in the data base. George is fighting a war in al Queda land because he did not want those hordes of bearded guys to bring their fight to America. This was done in the name of security. Another thing done in the name of security is building those nuclear shields in Europe purportly to intercept Russian and Iranian missiles. All this effort to get security actually make things more insecure because their fingers are always on the trigger.
American are such insecure people.
