I think ya'll are wanting to revert back to a pre 9/11 way of life and that is not going to happen. Heck, we should have been doing more at airports then. We were way, way to vulnerable and we paid the price for that. There are no "freedoms" being given up. Yes the patriot act made things a little easier but it is necessary to keep 1000's from being slaughtered. The terrorist have still not won anything. They are on the run, and getting killed. As a matter of fact, just saw where5 more were taken out in Yemen by a predator!

No one is saying go back to pre-9/11 at the aiports. We don't need people able to just amble up to the boarding area. That is retarded.

Do you listen to yourself? "Well yeah the Patriot Act makes it easier (to take away freedoms) but it's necessary." So what's your limit? When has the government reached the tipping point where you'll say "Whoa, wait a minute. I have rights."

I go through the scanner at airports, or metal detectors and I've had to get patted down once (I forgot I had bobby pins in my hair and metal detector went off and weren't sure why) but there has to be a point. I'm not willing to live in fear that danger lurks around every corner. I'm not going to say "Oh that guy "could" be a terrorist." No one knows what terrorists "look" like. Anyone can be a terrorist. Anyone could have evil intents in their brain to do harm. But I'm not going to become paranoid about it. What we need to do is like other countries and behavior profiling. They're going to test it out in Boston I think. That makes more sense than just suspect everyone (or people with certain apparel or skin color).

Ooh five more terrorists taken out in Yemen...you know there are about 10 to replace those five right? They're like cockroaches; they never die. So quite honestly we will never completely get rid of terrorism anymore than we get rid of the drug trafficking problem. Like I said they're weak - they're not defeated. And even if AQ does get defeated, there's always someone to take its place.

YOu do realize that the US as we know it will not last forever? Just like Rome fell, we'll probably fall too. Nobody stays on top forever...but if we do it will be from within because the government gets too powerful. I'm waiting for the second American revolution quite honestly...
