Answer 1

Sorry Mr. Capp,

First off -- they are RANDOM!

The only thing that the NYC LU or even the ACLU do is simply defend the Constitution, nothing more, nothing less.

Let's say that tomorrow, the government outlaws pornography (they tried to during the Reagan Administration) and your next door neighbor gets popped for a traffic stop. Neighbor says, "Hey, Andy, my neighbors got porno". Seeing a bigger fish, the cop goes to your house, opens the door and searches your house and Voila, you get arrested and hauled off to prison. You spend the next 60 years there, waiting for your trial. You die and they find you innocent or at least "Not Guilty", Your family is destitute and would like to sue the U.S. Government, but they can't because there is no provision to re-dress the government.

Andy, that constitution is in place to protect your rights, my rights and Yes, the god dammed rights of the freakin terrorist. As long as he is a citizen, he has rights guaranteed!

I don't mind them profiling, I don't mind them infiltrating and I don't mind them listening to my conversations/e-mails. But Damn-it, I want them to follow every bit of that constitution!

Keep one thing in mind! The greatest domestic terror attack occurred in Kansas, carried out by a White, Ex-Military clean cut guy! I am sure those 100's of people killed or maimed in that bombing would have liked a little eaves dropping!

But in that same vain, I will do everything in my power to make sure that your rights are not trampled!

That, My Friend, is what they call Freedom!

Just my opinion,

The whole world is different now than it was before 9-11-01. What good does it do if you lock up your closet, your suitcase, your cupboard, your medicine chest, your china cabinet, your computer, your jewelry chest..... And leave your front door WIDE OPEN?
