"terrorizing people" - That's basically the basic definition of what a terrorist does. And whoever the original terrorists were, they've have succeeded in making the US Government "terrorize" its own people. This is just the beginning. I have a feeling the worst is yet to come.
USA used to be the place where everyone wanted to come. I think more and more people will try to stay out of USA when they see measures like these implemented to mass-control their own population.

- easp 15y agoYes, now some of the worst abuses of the past 10 years are becoming enshrined in law, creating a new-normal they can push the boundaries on. I'd like to think the constitution would keep things in check, but I see no sign the Supreme Court will go very far in checking these abuses of the bill of rights. So discouraging.
