I would express it as a government fixation on bureaucratic overkill. We have had surveillance on everyone on all calls and internet transactions in mass, and I would trade that for one decent lead from quality intel. Don't forget that field agents were onto one of the 9/11 terrorists in flight school and put in a request for follow up. There boss seems to have been a political crony appointee and disallowed follow up. We could have prevented 9/11 and blew it.
