You people who object to surveillance are a bunch of tinfoil hat wearing paranoids. Or, you are ignorant about what's at stake here. Perhaps one of the most serious threats America has ever faced. There are enemies overseas who have or seek Weapons of Mass Destruction to use against us.

And there are enemies within, who are plotting ways to carry out atrocities, and are planning to strike.

Wake up and think, people! Our Great Nation is at War against those who despise our Freedom and wish to destroy us! And there are those who wish to hinder the Homeland Security Forces ability to do their jobs???

There are families who are willing to be implanted with chips in order to help the authorities combat terror. And on the other hand, there are objections to having your phones tapped, Internet activities monitored, surveillance cameras, etc?? Can you not see how wrong-headed this is? Is it just plain ignorance, or is it a form of mental illness? A subconscious death wish for themselves, their loved ones, and all of America?

Leslie, 46, said she was motivated by security concerns. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks hit close to home: Her family lives in South Florida, where authorities say 14 of the 19 hijackers lived. Her office is a block away from tabloid publisher American Media, where a photo editor died after contracting anthrax.

The world would be a safer place if authorities had a tamper-proof way of identifying people, she said.

"I have nothing to hide, so I wouldn't mind having the chip for verification," Leslie Jacobs said. "I already have an ID card, so why not have a chip?"

More citizens should be following the fine example set forth by the Jacobs family. Please write to your Congressmen, and tell them you would like to see more surveillance, and would like a National ID program that includes chip implants.

I am a connoisseur of fine sarcasm. This is the best I have seen in a while.

Cowards. Please enlighten us all as to how surveilance equipment, a National ID or chip implants would PREVENT any terrorist from obtaining their objective?.

It is you who are clueless and a coward. You choose to forfeit your responsibility for your security to a government who is unable to perform that function, as has been already proven.

If you choose to be treated like livestock, knock yourself out, however don't attempt to include the rest of us who are intelligent enough to know different.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Wake up and think, people!

Or don't wake up, and stink.

Dead bodies decompose and give off an awful odor. That's about all they're free to do.

The libertarian froot loop set here demands liberty without regard to security.

Liberals demand security without regard to liberty.

A few wise citizens demand liberty AND security.
