Actually, you are not even required to be loyal to that great document. But if that's what you like, have at it.
Personally, I want my government to protect my kids from scumbag terrorists. The terrorists and their supporters (many Moslems here in the US cheered the acts of terror) are the ones who created the "profile". I say round them up, sit them in hard wooden chairs under bright, hot lamps, deprive them of sleep, and make them squeal like stuck pigs.
It is the government's job to protect the rights of all citizens. If a person engages in violent activity, then sure, we should DEMAND our government do something about it. It's only too bad that the government is often the abuser of rights, rather than the protector of them. (Ruby Ridge, Waco, Rainbow Farms, etc.)
BTW: Playing the "it's for the chilluns" card, is sooooo yesterday!

DID YOU KNOW, that acording to the FBI's own Task for on Terrorism there is quite a long list of people that the police should look out for? Among that list are those who claim to be Christians (and ACTUALLY have the nerve to value God above government). They've also targeted ANYONE who claims they have "rights" and value the Constitution. I am a terrorist on both accounts. Oh well. Just don't expect me to come to your defense when you (or your chilluns) fall under these new VERY BROADLY defined terms.
