I can see the point of "let'em, then prove something folks".

I suspect they fear the old slippery slope, and with good cause. But if one reads the US Constitution, it says gov't can't do certain things unless there is "Probable Cause".

I think in this case, the gov't has probable cause. They simply haven't chose to spell it all out.

I would be more emphatic should the border security measures were applied everywhere, but....

I agree.
This is not a typical reaction to all who are returning to the US from Pakistan. It just happens that these are persons of interest, and the Feds do not feel compelled to tell the MSM why. This does not mean we all have to fear jackbooted agents breaking into our homes in the dead of night.
(After all, Janet Reno is no longer AG - but then again if we elect Hillary in '08 we can relive that special time).
Knee jerk reactions of the ACLU are not to be trusted. Since when did they ever defend ANYTHING that hinted of being AMERICAN?
