The basis of civilization is civil liberties and no civilized society should ever think to reduce it.
In the name of national security identy-cards can be issued and not more than that. Existing rules are every where enough to control anti-national activities.
As regards to produce evidences before court for anti-national activities , more time should be asked with specific reasons.

The purpose of government is the protection of individual rights. Trading freedom for security is an ill bargin. People that have made that trade in the past have wound up with neither.

The proper way to provide for the common defense is to attack the terrorist at the source of their power. Which are their state sponsers like Iran and Syria. The only way the terrorist can operate is to have a safe haven. Like Afgahistan was. We must leave them no safe haven.

Limiting our own freedom and waiting for them to attack here is a little like John Locke describes, meeting an attack with only defensive tactics.

"The state of war is a state of enmity and destruction; and therefore declaring by word or action, not a passionate and hasty, but sedate, settled design upon another man’s life puts him in a state of war….it being reasonable and just I should have a right to destroy that which threatens me with destruction….for the same reason that he may kill a wolf or lion, because they are not under the ties of the common law of reason, and have no other rule but that of force and violence, and so may be treated as a beast of prey, those dangerous and noxious creatures that will be sure to destroy him whenever he falls under their power."

"He that shall oppose an assault only with a shield to receive the blows, or in any more respectful posture, without a sword in his hand to abate the confidence and force of the assailant, will quickly be at an end of his resistance…..This will always be the event of such an imaginary resistance, where men may not strike again. He, therefore, who may resist must be allowed to strike. And then let our author, or anybody else, join a knock on the head or a cut on the face with as much reverence and respect as he thinks fit He that can reconcile blows and reverence may, for aught I know, deserve for his pains a civil, respectful cudgelling wherever he can meet with it. . "

the excellent national secure practices is having people who're peace loving and trusting and common. us of a of america will in no way have secure practices. it is using fact individuals are egocentric raving sociopaths and care not something for strangers. Civil Liberties we've for the main section yet they are taken away on the wims of the corrupt and the efficient.
