[ RadSafe ] Concerns Could Reduce Radiation Sensor Deployment

[Riely, Brian P.]

When 9/11 happened, all the experts that I heard guaranteed that within
the next 5 yrs America would be hit by a major terrorist attack.  I have
heard that there have been over 11,000 terrorist attacks world wide
since 9/11 (I have not verified this statement but I think it is pretty
clear that terrorist attacks world wide have increased since 9/11 --
actually there have been a steady increase in terrorist attacks world
wide since the end of the eighties)

Maybe ever better to add to Gary's statement that tiger attacks greatly
increased in surrounding areas, but where the tiger attacked were
initially concentrated, those attacks have vanished.

No, that's not a good analogy, because there is a history of terrorist
attacks culminating in the
911 attack, but tigers have never attacked you or your neighbours, and
you did not plant the palm trees in an effort to protect yourself from
tigers.

It might be better to say that at one time there were widespread tiger
attacks, and then after some counter action, the vast majority of tiger
attacks are concentrated in one place where tiger killers lay in wait.
That's more in line with the actual situation.

Oh, that's quite funny, and absolutely true.

Also, in response to Howard, I have to say that the fact that there have
not been other attacks in the U.S. is no proof that anything we've done
has  been effective.  I could as easily say that the palm trees in my
back yard  are effective tiger repellents, because I haven't ever had a
tiger in my back  yard.

SDI is  actually a pretty good analogy.  It works, but only if there is
only one missile at a time and we know its coming and what its
trajectory  will be. Detecting nukes at the border would be effective
under  similar circumstances: If we know the terrorist is coming, when
he's coming  and where, it will be no problem to identify the nuke he's
carrying.
