There are two basic counter-terrorist strategies.
The first one aims to make potential targets for terrorism harder to attack.
The second is to go after attackers, destroying them and keeping the rest on the run, not allowing them to amass resources for another attack.
So far, the official response to Monday’s bombing at Domodedovo Airport has been almost exclusively about boosting transportation security.
Since Monday’s attack, we have heard a lot about the extensive list of measures that the Kremlin plans to take to boost security at airports and other transportation centers, but we’ve heard very little about the government’s plans on how to deal with the perpetrators of the attacks.
Theresa May said on Wednesday that control orders, which impose 16-hour curfews on suspects, would be replaced by an alternative supervision system called "terrorism prevention and investigation measures".
There are currently eight British citizens subject to the control orders, which also impose electronic tagging, visitor restrictions and other constraints.

I totally agree with the last paragraph in the quote. Honestly, we, the citizens who are faced with dangers of these insidious perpetrators, are the real victims of this terrorist activity.
We have heard our leaders always talk about protecting us by increasing security, making tougher laws, and pretty much telling us how they plan on capturing these bastards (who decide that bombing us, threatening us, killing us, and making us fear whenever we get out into the public we will be a victim of their future crimes) that they will make us feel safer. The idea being "they will make us" feel safe. I think we have enough armed forces out there to protect us. This just seems like another scheme to make money off us and paying big corporations out of tax dollars to no make much of a difference in our sense of safety.
So what pisses me off is that the leaders NEVER say what will happen to those who do commit these crimes! Most of the "terrorists" are either faked in the media, or if they are caught, they are simply put in a prison (apparently), and that is the end of the story. There is no real talk about what punishment these people actually face for their wrongness.
Something needs to be done. Otherwise we may have to protect ourselves with our own weaponry and dispose of these people ourselves. No more pat-downs at the airport for me thank you very much!
