Reply to comment by ironroad18 in National Archives releases thousands of documents on Kennedy assassination by John-Farson

It's not so much incompetence as it is just thinking you'll never need those things. It's like the massacre at the 1974 Olympics: Germany didn't have a special forces police unit, and the German army isn't allowed to operate on German soil, so they couldn't do anything to prevent it. They just didn't think they'd ever need something like that.

Naivety is perhaps a better word.

Makes you wonder what we will think of ourselves 60 years from now. What aren't we adequately prepared for in today's world?
