I think for right now we are willing to sacrifice a little freedom to bring
the people who committed this act to justice, who's justice is yet to be
determined.
But slowly things will return back to normal. While I do not agree with
carnivore, I don't think the FBI is going to do anything with it that would
sacrifice the public privacy of Americans, while they may know a few things
they won't tell anybody and if they do we can sue them.
This does make our ability to travel the country quickly a little more
difficult, but that is a price we must pay for now. We can still drive.
This is more of a personal safety thing. When the airports and airlines
have proven that they are capable of providing safe transportation then
things will slowly come back to "normal".
It may take some time, but the we will see our selves as invincible once
again. It didn't take long after WWII for us to think that.
