The terorists truly did win. The world has changed dramatically since 9/11, The financial costs have been massive not only in putting together the infrastructure and technology to secure airports but in the billions lost in time wasted at airports not just by holiday makers but more importantly by business.
We have also lost by the lack of freedom and the big brother surveillance that now plagues us.
How much of this is due to genuine concerns about security or as with the green issue where the green issue was used to raise tax through the back door,how much has the security issue been used by Government to legitimise their desire to have a controlled state. Who knows.
The green issue had the government rubbing their hands with glee, of course they were saving the planet not their coffer balance.
Now they have security, of course they are saving us not using this issue for creating the big brother state they desire and may I say creating unproductive jobs to conceil the recession and increasing unemployment rates.
But whatever the terrorists have already won big time.
