when confronted about the anti-constitutional aspects of the patriot acts and this present administrations domestic spying programs and databases neocons often come back with the question "how have your freedoms been infringed or damaged by this legislation?" implying that it is and should not be of any concern to American citizens that the constitution is being abridged.
So my question above relies on this same logic, implying that since the overwhelming majority of Americans have in no way been significantly impacted by terrorists, they are and should not be of any concern to Americans and that the Bush administration has greatly inflated the genuine threat posed by terrorists.
