SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The author identifies a gap between the realities of terrorism, "violence without a return address", and the everyday discourse about it among government officials and the general public. Demonstrating that U.S. homeland security policy reflects significant nonrational thinking, he offers new recommendations for effective and rational policymaking
