Anyone else concerned with the disparity between the rate of success of 'terrorists' and the amount of resources we spend stopping said 'terrorists'?

This is one more act in a series starting September 12th, 2001 which have no casualties-- shoe bomber, underwear bomber, christmas tree bomber, anthrax, MD bomber, 4 black guys in queens, DC subway bomber. all those with the exception of the most recent were shown that all those who helped perpetrate the act other than those arrested were working for government intelligence. over this time frame we've spent $5-7 Trillion in 'national defense'. please someone tell me this isn't a waste of money.

So what you are saying is since what we are doing is working, we should stop doing it?
