What this latest episode proves is that the policies in place are probably sufficient to protect us, if they are only followed properly. Extra restrictions, designed to appear as if something is being done to enhance deterrence, but which ignore the fundamental lack of discipline of those charged with our safety, are more than a mere nuisance. They are obstacles to the progress we need to make.
