Ok, so I listened to all of the news programming this morning. I'm thinking that the "patriot act" that is probably unconstitutional, but sometimes necessary isn't the tool we need it to be. Has any plot been uncovered by the taps? Have we captured any jihaddists from it? Do we know how the Islaamic terrorists are planning to get at us?

Personally I don't care if the government listens to my phone calls, since they would probably be bored out of their minds. But, since we are announcing that they are listening/watching, wouldn't a suspect take that into consideration.

We've been doing taps for years, from watching "commies", to listening to Al Capone. Has it ever been that effective?

Are we securing our shipping channels so that suspected terrorists can't have access to toxic chemicals, biologicals, or nuclear waste? Simple canisters of Chlorine and Ammonia could have catastrophic effects if released in a building. I work at a swimming pool with the largest distributor of chlorine in the area. There's no security. I haven't heard much about that. What about Iran, aren't they a bigger threat now that they probably only need a bit of "fizzle material" for their nuclear program?

Why are we spending our days worrying about the few Muslim families in the U.S. when we should be securing dangerous materials?

Ok....it's just a rant. Please Blog On
