    I don't really think Americans are living in fear. I think they are being told they are living in fear.

      You hit the nail on the head. This tactic is getting played out and what worked 15-20 years ago, isn't going to work moving forward, or at least it wont be as effective. I guess to keep the same effect, a bar will need to be raised.

        Which is a scary proposition. That's when you get your own government doing crazier and more shocking things to convince people that the threat is real.

      Point well made. I feel the same way. My fear is not of a terrorist coming to get us. My feat is our own government (GOP) attacking us by demolishing the medical care system, the last shreds of our safety net,and so on.
