Now here's a movie I haven't seen yet, but I want to.
Like "Countdown To Zero," it's about fear. But it's not using fear. It shows how being paralyzed by fear induces bad decisions. Or that's what I take away from the Armchair Generalist and Homeland Security Watch. Links to more reviews at Homeland Security Watch.
But it suffers from the same problem as "Countdown To Zero": what can the ordinary citizen do? Unlike nuclear weapons, this is something that everyone who flies faces. I have long been more concerned that I will be detained by the TSA than that my airplane will be blown out of the sky. And, like the Armchair Generalist, I resent that something I have loved, flying and travel, has been made into an occasion for fear.

funny how we all agree, "Homeland Security" ISN'T, it's theatre, is NOT making us safer etc etc. but i have not seen anywhere an active means of doing anything about it. no protests, no petitions, no write-in campaigns, no peaceful resistance, no legal challenges that have any visibility. i too fear the TSA line, and coming Back INTO my own country- but i'm not doing anything but traveling.
