Ostrolenk talks to Constitutional Scholar Bruce Fein on the recent rising of the US security threat level, and why America should be using a criminal model, rather than a war model, to fight terrorism.

The war model, in contrast, seeks to scorch the earth as a means of protection, yet Fein argues this ultimately breeds resentment and make us less safe.
