The events of 9-11 were an attack on people's rights, privacy and a horrific act of terrorism. Terrorism is by definition the use of force, most often violent force true but still a use of force. If the government forces us as individuals to give up our privacy, isn't that a form of terrorism? Without violence?

We are a nation that claims pride in inviting people to our country. Won't we then be slamming the doors on people? You might argue that if someone has nothing to hide, they they should not mind giving up privacy, but we are entitled to privacy. It is our right. When you take away rights and privacy, you discourage people from coming to your country. Your economy suffers, the morale of your people suffers. It is getting too extreme.

The terrorists "won" when they devistated the lives of so many on 9-11. Now they are winning again because of the way we are reacting to the events of 9-11.
