When you have walked a mile in my shoes & had your family, friends, acquaintances & enemies targeted for questioning for security clearances that stretch over the span of a year, THEN you can come & comment on whether "I" have a simplistic view or not.

Hollywood is fake little man. I live in reality. Or what is to become of it.

Just because you WISH it was right with all your heart & might, isn't going to make it so.
I can agree with that. No one close to me has ever been adversely effected. I have had several security clearances. I provided smart articulate persons as references. I have also had a fairly boring life for the last 40 yrs.

On the other hand, I lived where the sniper was killing people. He killed at least 6 persons less than 7 miles from my house. I remember pumping gas several hundred miles from my house. The attendant came out to talk with me. He saw I came from MD and asked if I was in the sniper area. I said I was at ground 0. I pumped gas for my family. He said people were paying him to pump gas because they were afraid to pump their own. This was hundreds of miles from the closest snipe. Both my brothers live in the NYC area. They each knew people that died in the trade center and others that narrowly missed death. I really don't think you came appreciate how you would feel if some building or bridge was blown up every year somewhere in the US. Living when you can't be sure that you will live through the day is not at all fun. You all need to think about that side of the equation.
