Those three potential terrorists would have destroyed the world trade center over and over again!! We clearly need more security - or even more invasion of privacy, so that we can find the real terrorists.
Quite frankly, i find this hardly surprising. After all, there can not be that many terrorists - but there are a lot of other criminals.
Of course, criminals have rights, too, and privacy is a human right - (irony) but who gives a damn (/irony)
