Yes, that's pretty bad. We shouldn't have to give up our rights like this, even for terrorism. That's exactly what the terrorists and the Taliban want.

I don't know the qoute word for word, but Benjamin Franklin once said "He who is willing to give up a little bit of liberty for personal security deserves neither liberty nor security."
That is a main point behind the founding of this country, and now we're straying away from that. That's very sad... I pity the future generations of this country.
