Are you concerned that new measures to fight terrorism in this country could end up restricting our individual freedom? 4

Unfortunately when terrorist's are active the only way you can use preventative measures, is to invade individual freedom. I'm not saying it is right or fair, but if you have nothing to hide, then you should not fear this. Also it is very hard for officials to deal with this horrible disease called terrorism. I think some latitude should be given. However I would say I'am concerned. 

 

UPDATED 03/21/2007 Due to the responces: Being ex military and personally having to deal with it, I have found that the only way to prevent it is to be invasive. Civilians don't like it and we have our rights, but in my experience it has been the difference between stopping it and watching people get butchered!! No one can properly defend themselves against terrorism, there is no sure plan, but like I said before, give a little latitude to officials trying to do their Job.

...especially when the current people in charge of said preventive measures have proven them time and again to be abject boobs, I believe that the latitude must be VERY closely monitored.

Oops, I mistyped that...it should read, "the current people in charge of said preventive measures have proven themselves to be abject boobs." Sorry to have misled, but there is no way to go back and edit a comment.

. . ."if you have nothing to hide, you should have nothing to fear"? Sorry, get a warrant before you get into my house or tap my phone- unless we're still in America. . .
