ResumeControversy over funding for flight marshals and a damning report on the "woefully unprepared" system of first responders by the Council on Foreign Relations have further fueled fears that the government is not doing enough to prevent another attack and respond adequately if one does take place.
Supporters of the administration's efforts claim that the U.S. is doing a good job preventing attacks and that first responders don't need more money, they just need better spending strategies.
Guests:
