If you're so willing to trade in your freedom for the total illusion 
of safety (one need only look at Israel, Russia, England/Ireland, etc 
to see that even the most severe security measures can't protect 
against terrorism), you are undeserving of them, and -you- should 
move.  You're more than welcome to move to any of a number of 
countries where people have far less freedom...and interestingly, 
seem to get blown up a lot more often.

   See my sig- and read your constitution.  I'm perfectly happy taking 
the TINY risk of getting blown up in exchange for keeping all my 
rights.  The price of freedom is the risk that someone else will 
abuse the very same freedom...just as the "risk" of freedom of speech 
is that someone will say something you don't like.

I don't fear terrorists.  I fear those who, in the name of protecting 
my freedom, strip it from me.
