After the recent "Islamic Extremist" attacks in France and Belgium we know there is a problem in Europe.
The have been a few attacks in the USA of repute; 9/11 and the Boston Marathon.
There is no reason not to be vigilant of threat but to be obsessed with terrorist threats and sacrificing the values of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms in the USA, to citizen and non-citizen alike, only plays into the hands of fear of the terrorist.
So yeah, arresting a mental midget who lives in his mother's basement, who can't get at this own passport to join a terrorist enemy -- is a fuckin' joke ...
