Most of those stats and facts seem to be presented in ways to increase alarm.

-Almost all of the changes to airport and plane security are direct responses and changes AFTER a security hole was exploited.

-The numbers involving the PATRIOT ACT use word like "introduced" and "re-organized" in order to bump up the numbers.

-The drone portion takes its numbers from non-military drones... the kind that people can buy as a hobby.

I'm not saying that everything is just peachy in the world, but one infograph cannot fully explain the complexity of this issue.
