You should take a look at some of the other threads around here. Plenty of people think it fine to give the government the authority to kick down the door of US citizens (who might be Muslims) and throw them out. That's right, not just people with Visas, expired visas, or illegals, but Citizens. I can't wait for a society where the JBT's, who we all know have a history of accuracy, knock down people's doors because they got a "secret tip" that there might be a Koran lying around.

I understand that people are upset and disturbed by the recent terrorist attacks, but there is no sense to rashly enacting measures that have no practical effect in safeguarding us.

Oh yeah...I am certain Dickie G is concerned about my civil liberties...

I posted another thread this morning about a poll taken in Metro Detroit whose outcome was that while a majority of people do not blame the local Arab community for the terrorist acts, a majority of them also approve of targeting anyone Arabic looking who are found to be travelling on an airliner.

Unbelievably emotional and knee jerk and not at all surprising.

This attack will be the catalyst for the destruction of the Bill of Rights.. I hope I'm wrong.
