Obviously the threat Islamic extremists is only going to increase... so when is the time to forget political correctness and start getting tough on Islamic Extremists? What do we do when terrorists start blowing up shopping malls here in the US? Do we just continue on with our current laws or do we get tough and start watching people more closely?
At that point, when malls start getting blown up, would you rather leave our laws the way they are and risk getting blown up in a building/shopping mall, or would you like to increase security by watching people more closely on the internet, sealing the borders, infiltrating mosques, etc... in order to reduce and hopefully almost eliminate this threat?
Risk of small-scale attacks by al-Qaeda and its allies is rising, officials say
To reverse the question on you (and give an answer at the same time) how much of the Constitution are you willing to shred for the illusion of safety?
Obviously the Constitution doesn't matter any more just look at what the current administration is doing.... But, that's the question.... Where is the line? Do we just let people come in and terrorize us or do we change some things to make it safer????
Well, your entire post is a hypothetical.
So, until something happens, your post and question are meaningless.
