(PROLOGUE) The national security is of the upmost importance. There is no possible way to obtain city, neighborhood or home security if the nation is constantly at danger. That is why laws pertaining to this are taking so severely.
(CONTRARY) Airport security is ridiculous, yet the nation’s most devastating event was cause by the hi-jacking of planes.
(EXPOSITION) Terrorism purpose is to disrupt a normal social atmosphere. Terrorism frightens to gain power. Some may use religion as their purpose in destruction, but others seek fame and dominance.
(COMPARISON) Many say that the current war that we are in is not necessary, I do not have the knowledge to take a stance on the subject, but since then, we have not had an attack like the one we experienced in September of 2001.
(INTENTION) The intention of terrorist varies. Some do it to obtain religious glory, others to honor their family. Whatever the reason, it is killing for an unjustified purpose.
(DIGRESSION) Throughout the beginning of the United States existence, terrorism was common. The Boston Tea Party was one of the most famous acts that is not a gives a sense of pride.
(REJECTION OF PITY) Many people feel that terrorism will not affect them. It affects the nation, which in turn should affect the people of the nation. It is up to the nation to grieve and mourn with each other.
(LEGALITY) Terrorism laws are so prevalent in in this generation’s life. The Christmas incident has only made matters worse. For all the extra trouble that everyone is put through at the airports, it is worth national security.
(JUSTICE) Terrorists and their behavior should never be tolerated. There needs to be a harsh punishment.
(POSSIBILITY) The punishing is not the hard part to treat terrorism. Apparently, it is finding the terrorist that is the difficult part.

"The punishing is not the hard part to treat terrorism. Apparently, it is finding the terrorist that is the difficult part." And then there is still the problem of, how in the world do we go about with a "fair trial"? The trial in New York of the terrorist responsible for the acts of 9/11 is going to be a circus; it already is really. Terrorism is definitely new when it comes to matters of legality, and the ways these issues are resolved in the next few years will have a huge impact on everyone's future.
It seems to me that terrorism is one of those things where its a lose lose situation every time it occurs. Harsh punishment is, of course, needed. But by doing that we are giving the terrorists the attention they want.
If you ask a few random people that you see on the street, I'm sure that most, if not all, would say that terrorism is a problem. But like you said, its finding them thats the problem. If these people were distinctly marked there would be no need for the increased security at airports. New security measures are being created, and machines are being invented to stop anything from happening, but at the same time terrorists are getting smarter. I believe this problem will get more and more complex as time goes on with all the new technology. Can you imagine what the terrorists of 2050 will be like?
