How did we get to this point? A lawful citizen (taxpayer) has to pay for others incompetence and lack of character. One could interpret this as a victory of terrorism, by leading law enforcement to extreme attitudes such as this one. BUt I do agree with Robbiro when he mentions the lack of humility in recognizing a mistake and fixing it.
It is good to emphasize that this happened here in America, not in a third world country.
