My issue with storylines like this is it glamorizes government lying to citizens because "they know best". True, they'll likely have to deal with whatever hysteria may (or may not) result from it, but that's the risk they agree to take when they sign up for that job.
Policy is not justification. Segregation was once policy/law. Age discrimination is still policy/law. Doesn't make it right.
When Rossi asks Prentiss if she thinks people would be better off knowing things... my reply would have been "I think that should be their choice to make". Government's role is to keep us free. Safety is our own responsibility. But that's what happens when 9-11 is the 24/7 excuse for everything.
When we lie to them, it's a felony. When they lie to us, it's politics.
Enjoyed the episode; opposed the message.
