the design of terror

brians asks

> why is (terrorism) able to defeat designed systems so well?

'terrorism' is embedded in 'designed systems'.

when i lived in israel, there was an unspoken though implicit
satisfaction every time a 'terrorist' bomb went off in a bus station.
each 'terrorist' event was further validation of official terrorism.
