Re: Statistically speaking
@Khaptain
If we started funding agencies and government departments/bodies by their effectiveness and contribution to the public good then we'd be in a sorry state. Oh wait, no, the other kind of thing - much better off and with more money for things like health and education and caring for the elderly and improving vital infrastructure and lowering tax rates and investing in new developments and alleviating the plight of our fellow humans. Yes, that's the one.
Of course, one could at least put forward the argument that the money being spent on all this and the strictness and inconvenience and invasion of privacy it all entails is the reason the actual risk of being killed in a bomb blast or terrorist attack hasn't gone up despite the current threats.
But then, if you put forward that kind of argument then you would probably want to have some statistics and, you know, evidence to back it up.
So yeah . . .
