Good article. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

I am conservative, too, but not to the point that I think the Department of Justice, Department of Defense, and other government agencies have so many people and so much time that they are going to be checking what I bought at the market last week.

If they can catch the right villains by doing so, they will. But if they can't, they'll check "what I bought at the market last week" in the hopes of catching somebody doing something and justifying their budgets. Alan Caruba doesn't understand bureaucracy.

Right about now, it would be very nice to have Ronald Reagan's missile defense system in place, but everyone made fun of him when he suggested it in the 1980s.

I'm trying to remember which terrorist incident this would have prevented. ....anywhere in the world, If ANY country had such a system. Nope, can't think of one.

What's stopping them? Nothing. I repeat. Nothing.

This was impressed on me as I read the recent news that thousands of trucks from Mexico will soon be crossing our borders and traveling throughout the United States. More than 14,000 trucks cross the border from Canada every day. Let's add to them the thousands more trucks from Mexico. Do you think this will stem the flow of illegal drugs and aliens from south of the border? Are you feeling secure yet?

preach on, me brother. this is the game, exactly. the govt is protecting us?

yeah, kinda like a pimp is protecting his whore.

Does it bother me the government now has such broad powers? Yes and no. Yes, because the last time I read the US Constitution, they really should not have the right to invade my privacy without a court-ordered warrant.

A statement stunning in its sweeping meaninglessness. Last time I checked, a warrant was still required to "invade one's privacy."

No, because I want them to invade the privacy of everyone of the more than one thousand mosques, the many Muslim parochial schools and Arab "charities" in America. I may be a patriot, but I am not stupid either.

Ah, I see now. So, according to the author, only white, Christian males are entitled to privacy - Muslims who also happen to be American citizens need not apply. Lovely.

The very name of the department, is a travesty.

Since at least 1965, neither I nor any other American I know, has had either a homeland OR security.

If I were Mexican on the other hand, I would have a homeland [Mexico], and security and affirmative action [in USA].

But as it is, we Americans have none of the three, anywhere.
