Makes sense to me, and well written.

I recall when Kerry was running in 2004, he suggested that some terror plots are going to succeed no matter what we do. He was, of course, roundly berated by conservatives who apparently felt increasing security measures would absolutely prevent all attacks.

I agreed with John Kerry back then, and I believe if someone wants to kill a particular group of people, they just may be determined enough to succeed once in a while. Thank goodness their numbers are few.

Putting alarms and cameras on all theater exits because of an isolated incident is akin to making everyone remove their shoes at the airport.
