Unfortunately the reason why terrorism is justifying the effort spent versus other more significant dangers is because it is a strategy built around deliberately creating the perception of danger far beyond the reality i.e. terror - ism.

Psycologically the answer to this is not to calm people down, because that makes them more prey to fear, but to move them to anger/attack which alleviates fear.

Of course you need to blend in a little of budget to tackle the actual problem too but the politicians often need quite a hard jab in the fiscal ribs to remember that one in the midst of psycho-jingoism:-)
