S. 2845—134 ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Any person who violates, or attempts or conspires to violate, subsection (a) shall be fined not more than $2,000,000 and shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment not less than 25 years or to imprisonment for life.

What was the penalty before this?

I don't know. I was just amused that anyone other than a politician thinks this will ever be used against a terrorist.

I can imagine the internal memo at terrorist HQ telling the bad guys not to use shoulder fired missles because they can't afford the fines.

The mistake is treating these guys like criminals, this is war.

Can you imagine passing a bill making it illegal to bomb Pearl Harbor again?
