True. 80s you could walk into Radio Shack and build half the Anarchist's Cookbook. No cameras, no databases, just "need anything else with those blasting caps, son?"

Now they track fertilizer purchases. Progress, I guess.

Well not so much progress. Now we have terrorist act everywhere, in the 80's we were safe. So no.. it's total regress

You're romanticizing. 80s had the Troubles, plane hijackings every other week, Beirut barracks, Lockerbie. Serial killers were having their golden age.

We just didn't have Twitter to panic about it in real-time. The fear just hits different now.

Well I guess this is fake propaganda. I lived there and most of what they about that time is fake. But how can you push what happens today if you don't convince people it was way worst
