  My bad, how very intolerant of you.
  
  All muslims are terrorists, right?

  No. A white American Christian used a Ryder truck to blow the hell out of a building. Killing 168 including 19 young kids and injuring hundreds more. According to your reactionary views we must now take extreme, and ineffective, measures against people who wish to rent moving trucks.

  hardly. I was content with our reactive attempts to protect American lives. You suggested proactive attempts which could include the extermination of Muslims.

  they have already moved to regulate the sale of fertilizer used in the attack. Now we attempt to protect Americans from attacks from those who you see as threatned by American imperialism.

  Israel takes a proactive approach that has been 100% effective. That's what I meant, but of course you are too dense or stupid to realize that.

  Box cutters were used in 9/11. Why don't we regulate those?

  yes only a terrorist sympathizer would write
  “ gorilla/brutal tactics that are their only real way to fight.” War that they are so justified in conducting because “Is everyone just supposed to bow to our will then?” “And we are the closest thing left to imperialists.”

  You have to be careful with this right and privilege thing. Privileges are granted by the authorities and powers over the people. Whether that authority is the government, a corporation, or any entity that wields any power. A privilege by its very definition allows treatment of the individual as the authority sees fit. A right on the other hand is meant to guarantee a level of treatment equal amongst all individuals regardless of any authority that exists on earth.
  
  If engaging in modern forms of transportation is a privilege, who grants this privilege? Since most means of transportation are through publicly owned or regulated routes, these privileges fall into the hands of some level of government authority (federal, state, or local).
  
  This right and privilege thing is just a way to separate the individual from some of his individual rights that do not descend from government into some privilege that is granted by government.
  
  The 9th amendment really spells this out quite well.
  The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people
  
  In other words they chose to highlight a few of them in the bill of rights. A right not listed in the constitution by no means limits the abundant rights retained by the people to engage in lawful activity in life and liberty to pursue happiness
  
  So because you are choosing to transport yourself through publicly maintained routes, because of perceived threats it is ok for you to be stopped at random and observed for any signs of illegal activity. Impaired drivers kill more Americans than those that were killed on 9/11. Should the federal government set up checkpoints to randomly search vehicles and pat down the driver?

  Probably dense or stupid but
  Israel reacted after the LOD massacre and became effective in a small nation with much more control over who enters.
  and since 9/11 we have been 100% effective

  Based on experience with terrorist bomb attempts we use scans and then pat downs when needed. So we dont look up in the sky and see another Lockerbie but this time over the USA.
