Personally, I think that line is baloney.

It's not that Americans are actually afraid of terrorists. It's not that we "haven't been ready to embrace risk."

It's that we don't care about freedom and liberty anymore.

Moreover, this former TSA head is acting like the TSA has to "cooperate" with public opinion or is even in any way beholden to it. That is a lie. The TSA can and does do almost anything without reprecussion.
