A few days before 9/11 a couple of Arabic men here in Detroit rented private piloted planes and spent a couple of hours circling the GM building, Chrysler Headquarters and the Ford Glass House taking pictures.

Sure. You're a good follower. As the GM building, Chrysler HQ, and the Ford Glass House were not attacked, sounds like a couple of guys taking pictures. Oh, but I forgot. It was the 'quick' thinking and action of Homeland Security that 'saved' those buildings. Of course DHS was under Republican leadership. Once a Democrat is elected President, partisans will claim DHS is the worst thing since sewage.

Just tourists, you think? And do you think we should always assume they are just tourists?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Tell you what though. Let's just search anyone and everyone that looks like 'that' (you know what I mean). Then it won't be so hard to accept when the next group of people are singled out eh?

No, the reason those three buildings weren't attacked was because the pilot called the FBI and those "picture taking tourists" are now in Gitmo. They were caught with evidence that showed they planned to slam jets into all three of those buildings.

The key word in your paragraph is "unreasonable". After 9/11 I would say that it is "reasonable" to suspect that someone may try it again. I assume from your post that you feel we should do nothing to protect ourselves from further attacks.
