Blue, there wouldn't be any crime if we could sift the criminals out.
Once you start sifting people out because you think they might be dangerous you'll have done the terrorists' work for them.
There will be dreadful attacks, innocent people will be killed. There will be the mentally deranged, there will be terrorists and there will be the politically-obsessed and sometimes all three will be mixed into one. I don't say we can't do anything, but we certainly can't arrange society on the basis that we stop these things at all costs. We are all going to die, but if we only think about dying we won't give ourselves the time and space in which to live.
