You have my condolences, I am not saying that 9/11 was irrelevant, just that it is in no way equal to ww2 or the civil war. Thus, i don't really think that this should be used as a excuse for reducing personal freedom. At wartime, the government might have to seize less democratic forms of control for a while, but a few acts of terrorism does not require such actions. I am sorry if I have unintentionally disrespected your loss, but I hope you agree that emotional factors such as this can't choke the debate.
It is not sure that the threat of terror is any greater now than pre-9/11, it might very well be smaller. The only difference is that they succeded this time. Yet, laws are passed as if the threat of terror is increasing. Ironically, many of the actions taken seems to initiate even more hatred and terror.
