Security measures against terrorism are necessary, but can only handle (at
best) short term needs.  They are unsustainable and ineffective in the long
run - and the recent set of false alarms serves to demonstrate this problem.
The only effective long-term strategy to reduce terrorism is to earn the
goodwill of the population from which it springs.
