What should the response be?

[tei]

One of the things I was thinking about today in response to this was... what do you think is the correct response is from a government to something like this? As a response to 9/11, we got sweeping an occasionally paranoid updates to airport security, with some good effects (restricting what dangerous objects can be brought on a plane) and some bad ones (searching screaming toddlers for explosives). What can we do in response to something like this? What steps can we take to decrease the likelihood of it happening again? I have no idea. I can't think of anny kind of logical, enforcable policy that could have stopped this from happening. I mean, obviously it will be easier to see what went wrong when we know who's responsible and why, but it still seems that there should be some good reason why you simply aren't able to blow up a bomb at a public event. But there really isn't :/

Opinions? If you were the president, how would you want to respond?

Greatly improve mental health care, probably.

I'm not sure "fucking asshole" counts as a treatable mental condition.

We still don't know who planned to attacks and why they did. I doubt they were mentally stable in any case.

I doubt they were mentally stable in any case.

Please don't do this. Please. Please. There are people that do horrible terrible acts again fellow humans ALL the time that are not mental ill. Assuming anyone that could do a bombing, murder, or attack is mentally ill is not helping anyone.

AYRT said "mentally stable" not "mentally unwell". Do you really think someone who murders someone else is going to be in a healthy state? Yes, I know people have causes they think are justified - anger, fear - without being "crazy". But there are a hell of a lot of people with depression, anxiety and the like who don't feel the need to fucking shoot and bomb and basically murder other human beings.

In a lot of ways, it's too early to answer this question - we don't know enough to say. That is, we know neither the causes nor the precise nature of the event. Just in terms of the immediate security question, there's no way of stopping the threat entirely without completely shutting down society. It's simply not possible. It's a fact of life. The more effective thing to do is to track people who are likely to do things like this, and I think that's something that we do, and it's obviously a thing that we have to balance. But you can't easily prevent people from having access to places where a lot of people are.
