This theme dominates the hit series 24 and its hero, Jack Bauer. But the actual headline today about fighting bad guys features a robot as the central figure:
"There are strong indications that senior al Qaeda operations planner Saleh al-Somali has died," a senior U.S. official told ABC News.
Al-Somali was believed killed in a drone strike Tuesday that likely was part of the CIA's continuing program that uses armed Predator drones to target al Qaeda terrorists operating along the lawless tribal areas of western Pakistan that border Afghanistan.

No security measures can not completely eliminate the activities of Arab terrorists. This is evident in Israel: a tiny country whose population is very concerned about security, can not prevent every terrorist attack. Enhanced security measures at airports, only transferred the attention of Arab terrorists on the other weaknesses, such as night clubs and bus. When was closed border with Gaza, Arab terrorists penetrated the West Bank. Arab terrorists, as tax evaders, always find ways to deceive the society. The attack is always one step ahead of protection, which only reacts. The only good protection - proactive, preventive: Attack of the Arab terrorists before they attack you.
