Alright before I even answer this let me start by saying this....
9/11 was a tragedy and I wish it had never happen. I furthermore feel sorry and sad for anyone that has lost a loved one in those towers. As for the victims and survivors I can only offer prayers and kind words.
Do NOT think that anything I type is an attempt to take away or minimize the events of that day.
-----------------
Ok, let me say that 9/11 did not give any goverment the right to suspend civil liberties in the name of safety or security. Or to make it "non-answerable" to the people IT serves.
Living in a "Free society" comes with certain risks. Sure, give the state enough power and they can make your society very safe.
All criminals will be tried and gotten rid of, obscene material will be removed, immigrants won't be able to get a large foot-hold in the country, etc etc.
You might feel and believe you are really safe but we sure as hell won't be free.
(And 80% of pornographers will either become McDonald's employees or criminals... Think about it before you say you support this because you might be pissing in your own cornflakes.)
But to futher indulged this,
Tell me what happens when...
1) The obscene material is the christian bible. (Ever read some of it?)
2) The immigrant is you.
3) The crime you commit is protesting for your freedom of speach.
