Someone need to tell Libertarians that the government has personal rights on government property too, just as we do as individuals

Governments do not have rights. They have delegated authority. The limits of this authority are clearly spelled out in the Constitution. Of course I'm wasting my time explaining this to you because you clearly do not believe in ANY limit on government.

Yes they do, because you and I are self governing individuals. Governing means just that, having rights to do things as per a contract. The government has the right to self defend. How would a government function if it had to wait for the people's permissions to ward off a terrorist attack? Maybe that's what libertarians want.
