Didn't intend it as such. I'm asking a legitimate question. How do we protect this country without curtailing any of our civil liberties?
Hmmm... You don't suppose that free men might actually defend themselves if not debarred the use of arms by the state... do you?
You don't suppose that free men might have pulled their sidearms and blown a hole in the heads of anyone foolhardy enough to drag out a boxcutter on an aircraft, do you?
OK, an odd way to ask a question, but I'll assume it was inadvertent.

How about starting with attacking the enemy instead of the citizens? If you want to send all guests of the country from certain countries home, it would be ok with me during times of conflict. Suspending my constitutional rights, (without even a declaration of war, I might add) does nothing to address the problem.
