It would seem that most governments and people of authority actually thrive on paranoia now, instead of letting it threaten them, so all of that which we see or read or hear about in the media may just be one big, lumpy tumour of an excuse for all these governments and points of authority and politicians to get together and have one big, mass blood orgy. Of course, either way, it won't really, actually matter to anyone until it affects them directly, as proven by 9/11. And even then, it won't even affect 100% of the people, as evidenced by the aftermath of 9/11.
