If the US was a police state, maybe, just maybe this could have been prevented. But American's don't want a police state. Most folks don't want Big Government looking over there shoulder tracking every thing they do. US citizens would have to give up freedom for the protection. And of course, by heading in the direction of police state and government that monitors everyone's moves would be exactly what ISIS/al Qaeda want.
So, what do you want, lost freedom and lost privacy?
