They are welcome to pat me down, search my bag, and if necessary, listen to my phone calls. But they're going to be extremely disappointed and very board

So, if there comes a time when you are arrested for "hate speech" because of comments you made in a private conversation, that is just fine right? (and yes this is a massive exaggeration).

Gee. I'm really sure that provision was intended for me and not for a Muslim that threatens the lives of Americans or a radical Muslim cleric that announces to his followers they must blow themselves up on crowded buses. No, no. I'm sure they had ME in mind when they wrote the law.

If I engage in the type of hate speech that threatens the safety of another American, the yes. They should arrest me. Like I said, I don't engage in criminal behavior. Threatening someone's life is criminal behavior.
