Measures to counter terror

America, in spite of being at the helm of prosperity and economic development has not faced significant attacks after 9/11, because they swung into action from day one; they took measures that would not allow terror to breed.

While the need of the hour is exactly that, we are engaged in politicking and face saving trivialities. Beef up security in all places where people assemble, be it offices, temples, mosques, railway stations, airports, seaports etc. I am sure people will not mind the implementation of these measures as they would completely understand that it is only for their safety.Ask people at metros to carry any govt issued id proofs; make arrangements to issue to the genuine residents who might not have one already. The ideal system to adopt would be the social security system, but to get there we need to know who all stay in our country.

Measures are plenty, only if our leaders had the will.
