A nation of paranoids!

I cannot understand the fear about the Guantanamo Bay detainees being moved to United States. People are afraid that the detainees will break out of the jail, and incite new terrorist activities in the country! How realistic is that? The world’s only superpower cannot guard her high security prisoners? Come to think of it, this acute paranoia of Americans gets more obvious when you travel outside the country. The airports abroad do not fuss about checking your shoes and nail clippers! ‘You cannot carry water in the plane’ is another absurd restriction imposed as a knee jerk reaction to a trumped up terrorist plan in Great Britain (the technique of making explosives by mixing liquids in the plane is simply a concept on paper, which nobody has verified!) Hate to say it. Americans are easily frightened.
