Although I would rather do the right thing and get rid of terrorists than rather worry about Hillary in 2008, at the present moment.

So why do you not support the sunset clause? We still have the Patriot Act at the present moment.

keep all our rights as proscribed by the Founders without the limitations of their 18th century physical world

Careful, you're treading dangerously close to gun-grabber rhetoric there.

(i.e jets going into buildings and killing 3,000 people within an hour)

Arm all pilots and flight attendents and that will never happen again, with or without the Patriot Act.

It's not going to happen now. I don't think it's possible to hijack a US airline post-9/11. Not with sky marshals and perceptions being what they are. Sure, you might just want a lift to Cuba, but you're never going to convince the passengers of that in the 15 seconds you have before being overrun.

PS: You're wasting your time. This isn't an honest debate about the Constitution, freedom, governmental abuse, the potential for same or anything of the sort.

What gungrabber rhetoric???? Please if you want to live in the 18th century where jets as weapons were not possible, that's fine with me. That's your right as an American.

But please don't use the late 20th century invention called the internet to prosthylitize your rhetoric like the islamic fascists.
