the general public needs to understand that if the U.S. becomes more serious about protecting its citizens from terrorists:

A. taxes will be raised.

B. we will be asked to give up our access to sensitive information.

C. we will rely on federal agencies for our protection.

D. the terrorists will be more serious about targeting us.

ANOTHER ONE I CAN'T FIND IN MY BOOK. I AM LEANING TOWARDS C.

C is already true. But if we get more serious about terrorists, no doubt taxes will be raised.
