al Qaeda, or as some call it, just plain Terrorism.

Terrorists and terrorism have been with us since the 1st century and maybe even earlier so there is nothing to say about either that hasn't already been said. On the other hand  I have a lot to say about how we have handled al Qaeda, terrorists, and terrorism.  We have dealt with them, so far, out of  fear and nothing else. We think we must fly, so the TSA now X-Rays or searches everything, we take off our shoes so they can be X-Rayed , and soon we will have to submit to a full body scan if we want to board a flight. It's just not worth it when nothing the TSA does will make us completely safe.   Isn't it about time that we did something that wasn't out of fear?
