More Intelligence, Fewer Gadgets

America's stubborn faith in technology as the solution to all problems is weakening our security.
We're pouring billions into airport screening devices and a missile shield, but it's good intelligence that recently thwarted the Portland bomber and probably could have prevented the 9/11 attack.
Our "experts" have x-ray and missile technology, so they have decided that the next attack can only be by airliner or missile--it will almost certainly be by neither.

I don't know how the next attack will be carried out, but I do know that bin Laden was laughing his ass off last week when we wasted another billion on a "Star Wars" test while an imposter infiltrated a conference in Afghanistan.
