Could it be that the government has always been obsessed with security? Only recently (past 5 years) has instant communication really taken hold for the common person.
Technology has grown so fast that we have had to throw out the book on traditional security models and reinvent the wheel behind the technology curve.
Add in that we do not really know what is going on behind the government curtain and the Dept. of Homeland Security is quite possibly just a PR stunt to make the sheeple feel comfortable. If it's not terrorism, it's the commies/cartels/nazis/etc... A common enemy is the best way to herd the sheeple.
I don't believe in frivolous lawsuits, but this was a good opportunity to highlight the situation with the media, as well as hurt them where it counts (the pocket).
