Just a snippet below in case you were interested in reading how ridiculous our liberal pansy waist republic has become.
Bruce Schneier writes about FUD all the time, I regularly follow his blog because he has a refreshing view on security.

[h=3]Last Month's Overreactions[/h] Schools went into lockdown over a thermometer, a car backfiring, a bank robbery a few blocks away, a student alone in a gym, a neighbor on the street, and some vague unfounded rumors. And one high-school kid was arrested for drawing pictures of guns. Everywhere else, post-traumatic stupidity syndrome. (It's not a new phrase -- Google shows hits back to 2001 -- but it's new to me.) I think of it as: "Something must be done. This is something. Therefore, we must do it."
I'm not going to write about the Newtown school massacre. I wrote an article earlier this year after the Aurora shooting, which was a rewrite of one about the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings. I feel as if I'm endlessly repeating myself. Another essay, also from 2007, on the anti-terrorism "War on the Unexpected," is also relevant. Just remember, we're the safest we've been in 40 years.
