That clip was pretty funny.

Of course, in that kind of business, you have a problem. If you succeed, you wind up having people saying: "there's no threat; we don't need you." And if you fail, you get reamed: "why didn't you do your job????" And you can succeed 100 times, but if you fail once...

Fact is, we should take our cue from the failed Times Square bomb of a couple of weeks ago. They're out there. Apparently not well organized in this country (and, that lack of organization pretty much has to be a result of our post 9/11 response; they clearly were well organized before then...), but they are there.

Nearly a "friendly fire" incident in that clip, eh?
