If you believe the conspiracy theorists, that's exactly what the upper class wants. They want us to be good little plebes and stay where we are unless called. I can't honestly say that this theory is baseless paranoia.
Personally, though, I think its fear. We haven't really been attacked on our own soil since Pearl Harbor and then 9/11 happened. No one knows how to handle it and the policticans had to be seen doing something or risk being voted out of office.

In other words, we're acting like children.
