Are They Making it Safer

News reports today covered the latest anti-terroism move by Homeland Security. Are we working harder to keep the borders safer? No. The latest move was to ban butane lighters on commercial aircraft. We are now safer because a would-be plane hijacker can't terrorize us with nail clippers and, now, butane lighters. It won't be long before we are safe from safety matches at 30,000 feet.

Nothing new on sealing the borders from real threats, but we have time for this. One might question whether our tax dollars are being well spent.
