The article focuses on police and surveillance budgets for the war against terrorism in the U.S. The billions of dollars currently being pumped into police and surveillance budgets represent an unprecedented investment in a heavily patrolled world. Such an extraordinary buildup will inevitably exacerbate questions about the limits of state force. It will require the greatest vigilance to prevent turning into not just a police state but one big global military base. The attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center were carried out by deeply rational and well-trained operatives whose tactics defied easy profiling. They looked well educated and they dressed professionally.
