What upgraded safeguards do you suggest we do to prevent another attack on the united states?
Pass out 565 pink slips in Wash. DC, put term limits in place, end career politicians and cut their "lifetime" benefits packages to the SS standards they impose on everyone else, pay them by the hour, hold them to their oaths of defending our Constitution and its Bill of Rights, end PACs, super PACs, and Citizens United taking corporation funding from our political system.
It would be a good start but of course it could never happen since it's something they would have to vote for.....
Suffice to say that as long as the banks and corporations own our govt, the people, hold ownership and have the monopoly on all lifes basic needs and its suppliers, and there is profit and a means of control with wars raging...... we're screwed!
