I think you are probably correct. I suspect that terrorism in this country will get far worse before it gets less.
And hence my curiosity about the overlap of those against surveillance and those that will be outraged at our govt for not preventing it when it occurs.
But in the meantime, if you live in an area with lots of drivers instead of mass transit, spend much time out and about, and are observant, the cell phones ought to concern you greatly. I've had more near misses (that weren't my fault) in the last few years than I had in the first forty years of driving...times ten.
It's a pet peeve....I'll let it go. But when I no longer show up here on the message boards...it'll probably be because some distracted dumba$$ ran over me.
