It's all going a bit far....
All this paranoia, media hype and the "Homeland Security" department. Doesn't it scare you guys in the US that Homeland Security can detain you without trial? Can keep your records indefinitely? Can trace your calls whenever they feel like it? They are not bound by the usual constraints that the FBI and the cops work under. They don't need to worry about those pesky civil liberties. In the US and even here in Australia, some rather spurious stuff has passed through parliament under the guise of "anti-terrorism."
THAT is what frightens me, not the tin-pot terrorists without two bucks to rub between them.
