Does anyone else get pissed off by the premise of 24?

I haven't watched it, because the whole idea annoys the shit out of me. There ARE NO FUCKING FOREIGN TERRORIST SLEEPER CELLS IN AMERICA, goddammit. Anybody who even LOOKED like they might have anything to do with terrorism was locked up and/or deported right after 9/11.

I currently live in a country with a terrorist problem. You know how you know you have terrorists in your midst? They blow shit up, constantly. 9/11 was the exception that proves the rule. It took those assholes EIGHT YEARS after the first WTC attack (which was domestic terror) to put together a fairly simple, low-tech attack. Every major Al Qaeda attack since has also been domestic terror, or from a nearby country with a large domestic population (Brits in Britain, Moroccans in Spain, Indonesians in Bali).

I class this idea of government super-cops chasing terrorist masterminds around the country along with UFOs, angels and crop circles. I couldn't stand the X-Files, either. I know it's fiction, but it's fucking annoying fiction because so many idiots believe it actually happens.
