Maybe we should increase the number of agents investigating this stuff, then? Fraud affects many more people than terrorism, but nobody gives the "there's just not enough agents" excuse for that.

Also, only investigating fraud when there's lots of money involved means we're only helping rich people, who need the least help. Losing less money doesn't mean less impact on someone's life if that's all they have.



Because people are more terrified about a random bomb hitting a random place once in a while more than their accounts getting hacked and then finding themselves in a big trouble?


It takes a lot of work by the military-media-industrial complex to keep people that terrified about such a stupid ginned-up threat.
