[quote:4eaa7]The point is, governments say in order to protect me, they have to do these security measures, when in reality, all the measures do is give the government more power over the people, not stopping terrorism at all.[/quote:4eaa7]I just simply don't agree with this statement. Larger security forces have been known to prevent things from happening whether it is the airport checking shoes or if it is a metal dector at the gates. just the known fact that the forces are checking for these things changes things for terrorists. I highly doubt that a terrorist will try to get on a plane with their shoes loaded with plastic explosives again.

And when I think of an "evil" act, I can think of some things that are gained by doing so. What will the government gain? Power. I don't understand what they can be happy over when 'you say power'. Alot of people say GWB is a power-hungry man when he tried to pass the Patriot Act. Well, what the hell did he gain from passing this bill? I don't understand.
