Is the US safer today than before 911 ?

we have spent billions of dollars on airport luggage screening technology...that we now find out cannot detect liquid explosives that terrorists could bring aboard in shampoo bottles.

We will not be able to "defeat" terrorism with high tech military might.....we need to consider addressing the socio-economic causes of terrorism as part of an intelligent strategy that does NOT heavily rely on military muscle which, if used as the primary element of our approach to terrorists, will certainly be counter-productive.
