What was the penalty before this?

I don't know. I was just amused that anyone other than a politician thinks this will ever be used against a terrorist.

I can imagine the internal memo at terrorist HQ telling the bad guys not to use shoulder fired missles because they can't afford the fines.

The mistake is treating these guys like criminals, this is war.

Can you imagine passing a bill making it illegal to bomb Pearl Harbor again?

I heard yesterday about the smuggler who brought some Mexicans in and they died of suffocation in a truck. The judge dismissed the charges because "he did not profit" from his deeds. I haven't seen an article on that yet.

Or flying planes into office buildings? Yes, I can easily imagine them passing such a bill.
