- hnazareth16, on 12/11/2008, -3/+18It's a shame that it takes a disaster (Katrina, 9/11, etc.) for the government to finally do something it should've a long, long time ago.
- harrisbradley, on 12/12/2008, -2/+14That scenario sounds so familiar. Hmmmm, where have I heard of a terrorist attack leading up to a major security overhaul before.
- inactive, on 12/12/2008, -2/+13Notice how none of those steps involve confiscating your bottled water or baby food.
- Crimsonsoul343, on 12/12/2008, -1/+11They should take our patriot act. I don't think we want it anymore.
- demizer, on 12/12/2008, -1/+9I wonder what they will call the Patriot Act in India?
- shawn1122, on 12/12/2008, -3/+11Looks like we got a regular everyday racist here. Welcome to my blocklist, douchebag.
- Technopundit, on 12/12/2008, -3/+10QUICK! Ban toothpaste at the airport!
- pseudojd, on 12/12/2008, -2/+9Every year in Mumbai more people die on the train commute to work than died in this single event. Do you think the preventative funding will be proportionate? Do you think it should be?
- Barackalypse, on 12/12/2008, -1/+6Yeah, well the jokes on them, because the baby food has melamine in it.
- DigSomeMore, on 12/11/2008, -7/+11Much needed overhaul was due...they also need more human intelligence...
- db1309db, on 12/12/2008, -2/+6HaHa, they were false flagged into a Patriot Act....SUCKERS!!!
- mavar, on 12/12/2008, -0/+4POTA (Prevention of Terrorist Activities) act. This was brought in and then removed because of the same issues that Patriot Act had - abuse towards innocent civilians.
The act was introduced when B.J.P (currently in Opposition) was in power and was repealed when Congress (currently in Government) came in. B.J.P wishes to use this as election propaganda for the upcoming elections in 2009. - shawn1122, on 12/12/2008, -1/+4Wow technopundit, you are definitely a shame to humanity. Racists like you often never realize that they are no better than anyone else. Insulting an entire race of people doesn't make you better than you are, it doesn't make you more intelligent, and it isn't even funny. You just make yourself look like an uneducated hick, which is probably what you are anyways.
I don't care what you are doing or what you have accomplished in life, you are a genuine ***** buddy. With all due respect, you can go ***** yourself. - eastcoast1978, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3It is a shame that it takes a disaster for government to act, but that is human nature. Its the way it has always been yet we always complain about it.
- mockamonkey, on 12/12/2008, -1/+4Your ***** hilarious buddy.
Check out the list of the top richest people in the world and tell me how many Indians there are in the top 5. You'd be surprised how many "phone support personnel" have made billions with their knowledge. - sanman, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2India's left-wing political establishment need to overhaul their intelligence, by doing some learning
the Left in India are willfully ignorant
they love to turn a blind eye to terrorism - SemiSarcastic, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2It won't be long before someone will have a problem with it...
- Barackalypse, on 12/12/2008, -4/+6Guess which one of these doesn't have much to do with terrorism in India? If you said "money laundering laws to be strengthened ", you are correct. Pakistani terrorists attacking from outside the country aren't going to run afoul of money laundering regulations in India. Tax cheats will though. I hate it when terrorism fears are used to back door more Government control in other areas. And yes, I know in some other countries terrorists are involved in narcotics or weapons trafficking to finance their activities
- pdileepa, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2Oh... don't worry about it. Nothing ever gets done in India. Six months hence, we'll either end up with no change or another corrupt investigative agency.
- stutimandal, on 12/12/2008, -2/+4By your logic, about 130 people die daily in US car accidents. This means more than 50,000 deaths in car accidents/year. So US should not care much about 9/11 kind of attacks since more people die in car accidents. Right?
- ortucis, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2"Without actually reading,"
No ***** I have you blocked (I clicked to read the comment anyway, now I know it wasn't worth it). - w3ber, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2• a total of 20 "counter-insurgency, anti-terrorism" schools would be set up in various parts of India to train to train police and security personnel
• commando forces to be set up in the states
• laws relating to terrorist acts would be beefed up - Arieas, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1And may I know on what basis did you jump to that conclusion? India has one of the best trained security forces. The only poor link here is India's highly incompetent bureaucracy. Go do some more research before showing-off your 'knowledge' here.
- ortucis, on 12/12/2008, -0/+1"They should have rather hired foreign professionals for at least 2 years"
I hope you are just alking about local police, even they can be trained by our own, esp. since even US soldiers come for training in most Indian camps. - Georgy, on 12/12/2008, -3/+4This is not a good thing, compared to the U.S India is definitely a freer country, security lines at airports are faster, you're not going to get huge fines for minor infractions, even if you smoke weed you would just get a warning from the police.
I hate to see this happen to my home country.... - sanman, on 12/12/2008, -0/+1no, because it's dominated by the Left
- Barackalypse, on 12/12/2008, -4/+5Without actually reading, I'm going to guess that the measures they are considering might have been able to prevent the last attack but will be incapable of preventing the next one. You cannot adequately protect a free society. If you are willing to trample rights and be ruthless, you can enjoy a fair degree of security, but ultimately given the infrequency of the attacks it isn't worth the intrusion.
- justinx0r, on 12/12/2008, -2/+3India is definitely not freer than US.
- vardis, on 12/12/2008, -0/+1They need to announce something after what happened.
- pseudojd, on 12/12/2008, -3/+3sounds like freedom will be coming... on the tip of a rifle barrel.
- ortucis, on 12/12/2008, -1/+1In which part of Delhi were you born that you faced jail time for minor infractions? I was born here and hell, even I haven't. As for bribing, people enjoy bribing, cops enjoy taking it. Happens in a lot of countries. Stop giving bribe and pay the fine instead if you want, no one's stopping you.
@ Georgy
I'd complain if anything changes. Besides, I welcome the new laws. - ortucis, on 12/12/2008, -1/+1Is US surrounded by terrorist sponsoring nations like Pukistan and Bangladesh?
If the answer is 'no', then yeah, this is not the same thing. - known, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1Govt of India and Pakistan must pro-actively give permanent incentives (for e.g. free health care, govt jobs, free public transportation etc ) for inter-faith and inter-caste marriages between Jewish, Hindu, Christian, and Muslims.
This will prevent terrorism in the India and Pakistan. - Sublimin4L, on 12/12/2008, -1/+1Partially true on the "you're not going to get huge fines for minor infractions". Growing up in Delhi, the police there stopped you for a minor infraction, and demanded bribes or you faced jail time (unless you knew someone higher up).
- iHeartCamels, on 12/13/2008, -0/+0you mean Outsourcing?
I really wouldn't want America's security ideas in India. Take away nail clippers and profile the hundreds of millions of Muslims in India? - mhmdkhamis, on 02/12/2009, -0/+0… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ______

Yes you have much more to fear from bad drivers than terrorists. If you want to stop terrorism then you need to think about solving root causes of terrorism. Do something about poverty, that might be a good start. - MacBookForMe, on 12/11/2008, -8/+8A very bad security forces considering their nuclear weapons potential. They should have rather hired foreign professionals for at least 2 years to properly train their own people by foreign instructors...
- Spartacusprime, on 12/12/2008, -0/+1Bangladesh? Really?
How can Bangladesh sponsor terrorism when it's bailing itself out of monsoons 12 months out of the year? - Technopundit, on 12/12/2008, -2/+1In the US, you are not even allowed to shampoo with cow urine in public.
- TSK05, on 12/12/2008, -5/+4And again people on digg are screaming for an overhaul. The last overhaul is still fresh in their minds. And most were just screaming yesterday that the government is taking rights away in the name of security. Oh well, overhaul it is, make us safe government.
- 1smartguy, on 12/12/2008, -6/+5They should outsource it.
- TechCrazy, on 12/12/2008, -0/+0We should be more wary of giving more power to the government - just take a look at all the laws passed and rights abolished by the Bush regime after 9/11.
Is it possible that whole Mumbai attacks were staged or directed by someone at the top so that the govt. would start the police state in India? Don't we already have the CBI, IB?
I have seen this pattern too many times.
Create a big disaster. Instill fear in the people. Then pass laws while the people are still in shock/fear.
If you watch 'Loose Change' and similar movies, you will know what I mean.
Question everything! - Jlaugh, on 12/12/2008, -1/+1Funny thing whenever the terrorists attack somewhere people they attack start to loose their freedoms. Tell me do devote muslims do cocaine? Weren't there attacks on both sides, weren't thousands of muslims massacred in India by Hindu extremists? Wasn't Gandhi murdered by a Hindu extremist group, didn't the Muslims get the blame for it? Wasn't Bhutto shot by assassins on TV then the press told us she hit her head.
- inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+0Overhaul? What was there to overhaul in the first place?
- SilverBack101, on 12/12/2008, -3/+2The only reason why this event was such a big deal versus all the communal and political killings is because foreigners were targeted. If it wasn't you wouldn't see any changes.
