Kathy Reul, 44, a health care worker in Queens, confided to a New York Times reporter this week: "I drink a beer every day on the subway. I don’t have it in a cup. I have not seen a police officer on a subway train in a long time. If I can get away with having a beer, I can get away with having a bomb."
Revelations like this — and the horrific images from London — remind us that our freedom carries with it a vulnerability that may never be wholly eliminated. But we must commit to lessening it, by increasing our investment in stronger security measures at home.
