In the above paragraph the writer implies that our security measure
have prevented harm after 9/11

I don't think that's what Jenkins said. Indeed, what I think he said
was that the Homeland Security money was largely wasted, as compared
to the success of going after Osama in Afghanistan. Proactive, not
reactive.

But then I can barely remember what I said yesterday, never mind what
I read!
