Nothing, including the creation of MLMSBs, will prove to be a panacea if enforcement does not follow. While our country develops cutting-edge national security programs, far too often the production stage is both where policy begins and ends. Granted, enforcement dollars are finite, but I fear that inaction is regarded as safer (politically) and has, therefore become the bureaucratic default.rnFurther, I have decided that lack of execution in this particular area either stems from a loss of interest, or from deliberate misdirection regarding the recent implementation of a secret program that is many, many times more effective than was SWIFT. I am a cynic by nature, and unfortunately that means that I believe the former to be true. Sexier topics naturally prevail in an election season, however, given that terrorists tend to stage attacks around election cycles (e.g. Spain and Pakistan), let's hope that I'm wrong.
