if you pack the whole bus with something with a brisance higher than what C-4 has, you just might put a few cracks in the walls.

Please be realistic with future questions.

Well I apologize MR. KNOW-IT-ALL! I have never been to this facility, have never seen it on the tube, or ever heard it described, before you so expertly brought it to my attention with your insult. Whether or not a terrorist even damages anything, he will still obviously make a point, which is what they are after in the first place, wouldn't you agree? Maybe not, since I'm sure you believe being asked for your ID in this instance compares to NAZI Germany, right?

Does it matter? What I would ask of you, being as you seem to be the expert in this thread, does it matter whether it is a building or human bodies? Since you seem to know every square inch of this federal facility, is there a place on this bus route where you could optimize human suffering, or does that matter at all to your holier than thou opinion? Or better yet, is 100 innocents worse than 1 innocent. Do you put a value on either?

Why don't you try to miss the point a little farther. I'm sure you can...........

Your tact in this debate baffles me, since this passage is taken from your personal page here at FR.

In order to prevent terrorist acts in the general public, we need to have a National Concealed Carry Act. The Law Enforcement Officers in place now cannot possibly be everywhere. The general public must be able to stop a terrorist threat as it happens. According to USC Title 10 Section 311 Chapter 13, we have an obligation to assist in the common defense. This includes stopping terrorist activities and also violent criminal activities. Without a National Concealed Carry Act, we are stripped of the ability to fulfill our obligations as spelled out in the U.S. Code.

Does this argument only count when it is in your best interests?

So, as you appear to have exactly the same idea about terrorism as I myself do, how is it you do not see that crossing a federal reservation could have a different circumstance than the usual day to day routine of American life? How can you argue in one instance it is our responsibility to aid the government, but in this case we don't have to? Most people would call that hypocrisy. I thought we left that to the left, they are a hell of a lot better at it.

What makes a 'federal facility' any more sacred than an office people or shopping mall or restaurant or movie theater or . . . .

Do you think that terrorists are merely seeking to target the government where there is some perceived level of scrutiny (not security) instead of unguarded targets with lots of civilians?

Your panic is not good reason to deny me my liberty without probable cause. There is no off switch on the Constitution.
