Of course. Trampling Constitutional protections, such as the outdated Fourth Amendment, is the ONLY way to save us from the terrorists.

We can't ever hope to effectively fight terrorism until we eliminate all these troublesome unalienable rights.

Totalitarianism, while not particularly desirable, is the only practical solution to the terrorism problem. I think it was Ben Franklin who said that. </sarc>
