No I am not. I can't protect them so I wouldn't try to become the leader of the FBI. I also can't do surgery but if I come in to have some work done on my hand and leave with a foot chopped of I am going to sue the doctor.
Would you also sue the doctor if he/she failed to give your spouse immortality?
"Find the person who committed crime X" is more like your surgery example: a task law enforcement can often accomplish. "Protect everyone all the time" is as impossible for law enforcement as "grant immortality" is for doctors.
Exactly. The FBI was unable to perform their job properly. Then they ask the public for help. What, the bomber didn't leave behind any Facebook conversations to track? Boo hoo.
>> Letting anything through should simply result in the leaders going to the electric chair.
My, you have high standards. I hope you've never released a bug. Every line of code is available for your inspection and behaves deterministically. Unlike, say, people, who are nearly uncountable, much less predictable, much less controllable.
To avoid letting anything through would require being omniscient and omnipotent.
Please at least try to give others the benefit of the doubt that you'd like them to give you.
