Funny how you didn't refute the fact the Brooklyn Bridge plot was thwarted by the use of these so-called "illegal wiretaps". Thanks for making my point.
Extreme risk of what? Extreme risk that jihadis are going to plot some major destructive attack by talking openly about it on the telephone?
Guess what? Terrorist do use the telephone like everyone else and other methods of communication as well...email, cell phones, fax, whatever...Just because the don't talk openly doesn't mean we cannot intercept their messages and intents...By your faulty logic we should not have been listening to the German and Japanese communications in WWII because the were not speaking openly about attacks and such...very ridiculous!
You have no rights if someone shoots you to death, either. When are you going to call for repeal of the 2nd Amendment? Oh, wait - you don't have to repeal it, you can just find some 'inherent' power to ban firearms.
Bring up something out of the blue and you may get a hit...Who is talking about the 2nd Amendment?
Your fear makes you easy to control. Compliant. Sheep-like. Just the way they want.
Your paranoia makes it easy for the enemy to exploit and destroy...
The enemy gains no advantage from my steadfast advocacy of limited Constitutional government. What's next - ya gonna call Bob Barr a jihadist sympathiser?
