Simply put, the nation is in a state of terror. People are acting irrationally. The law makers and the president are all looking to be the hero. Fear is the tool that terrorists use to take our freedom, contrary to the points of view of what seems to be the many. Some very bad things where done during the arms race out of fear. Things that looking back we know we shouldn't have done. Can we not learn from these lessons?
Point one: Is there any evidence that if the FBI had the ability to listen in on conversations that Tuesday's incident wouldn't have happened?
Point two: Have we considered all possibilities other than self destructing the US Constitution? How about locking the pilots into their cockpit? How about security guards on planes?
I think it is manditory before we knock the foundation out from under America that we at least resolve those two points. If someone died for my freedom, I'ld like their deaths to not be in vane.
This reminds me of the "war" on drugs. It doesn't seem to bother the average American that we are bending the principals that are America to defend it.
