Counterterrorism Efforts

Research and discuss the effectiveness of the counterterrorism effort in the United States. Which counterterrorism tactics do you think work the best? How do you think that different types of terrorist groups warrant different tactics by authorities? Is it appropriate (or even possible) for government counterterrorism efforts to deal with the root causes of terrorism? Which freedoms must citizens give up for the country to be able to prevent a terrorist attack? In what ways have terrorism or government security procedures affected your life?
