The problem is every little thing is now being escalated on purpose.
Even small local crime, many times police try to escalate it on purpose as much as possible to get more funding.
This is why the TSA and the NSA will never be defunded, they claim they are stopping all the invisible elephants from attacking us and politicians are afraid to say no.
Meanwhile the "security" industry grows to the point where it's too big to fail and the taxpayers have to fund it forever.
The reason of ever-growing state enterprise is the absence of real market feedback. Any private enterprise (business or charity) has only its own money to burn and gets new money from volunteers. In case of government, new money is guaranteed to flow in because it is extracted from people by force. So there is no way any government agency can ever "feel" they are spending resources on something which people don't like.
