Does anyone follow what a terrorist does? Their goal is to get you to change your way of thinking and adjust your actions in response to their tactics and actions. They want you to become a reactionary society they can manipulate. Sounds like they succeeded. We are so worried about terrorism that we forget to live our lives.
I drive a major highway near Washington DC everyday. Whenever the "terror alert" gets raised there is a sign that displays a message that basically says (can't remember the exact wording): Please report any suspicious activity to (phone number).
I'm doing 75mph down the highway what am I expected to see? Am I supposed to write that phone number down while driving for later reference?
These are the ridiculous measures that are becoming commonplace because of legislation liek the Patriot Act. I may not have been directly affected or know anyone who has yet but what makes you think an open forum like this is not already being monitored for "terrorist thoughts"?
Personally my fear is not the Patriot Act itself, I am against it, but what it opens the door for in the future.
