Who is protecting whom from what?

Reminds me of something similar here in USA: Homeland Defense/Security. Citizens having telephone and internet use monitored without search warrants on the off chance that a terrorist or two might be caught that way, is to protect *our* security? And there is no end in sight to the long lines to board the airplanes, while there is little or no security for those with direct access -- like baggage handlers, catering trucks, aircraft workers, janitors, flight attendants and pilots, the guys who sweep the runways . . . (ad infinitem)

Sanity and uncommon good sense seem to have gone the way of the Dodo.
