Not to answer for the parent but IMHO it's not so much we shouldn't care. It's we should be very careful about what rights and freedoms we give up and how much power we give to a state to scrutinize our daily lives when the very thing we are trying to prevent has not had a major impact on our daily lives.

Yes, it had a major impact on some people and their families and their pain is not to be dismissed lightly but on the other hand we should not give up our way of life to prevent these things from happening, especially when evidence supports that the new laws that are written after these events seem to do very little to actually further protect us.

While a little sensational I think the graphic in this article concerning the TSA in the US does a pretty decent job of summing up exactly what we've gotten from "enhanced" security in the US.
