Given that there was, overall, merely and uproar resulting from these
episodes, would you rather they over-react, or under-react? Finding the
exactly right balance is not something humans seem to gravitate to,
especially bureaucracies.


Key word is "react."

When a snake strikes, instinctive "reaction" is to jump - I think all
mammals do this (except elephants, who can't jump. Apparently hippos can
jump. Who knew?)

Then fight or flight kicks in.

Later, reason finally takes over and a well thought out plan to either
avoid
the snake in the future or kill the snake is now in order.

I think our government is sill a little "jumpy."

Tell someone "HALT" and when they don't, there's reason to escalate the
reaction to the next level.

What was it we heard, dozens of intrusions happen each week, but only this
one made a big splash. Then, too, the rest of them respond when challenged.
