1) Every question contains the seeds to its own answer, or something 
like that.  ;-)

2) "They" won't act responsibly.  [By the way, does the prohibition 
against waterboarding apply to felines? ;-)]  "They" will only catch 
the stupidist of the stupid among terrorists ... those who take the 
interstate instead of the back roads ... those too dumb to encase 
their radioactive payload in lead ....  Then "they" will need cameras 
in each and every room of each an every home to make certain that 
they didn't miss someone.

3) "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little 
temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."  - B. Franklin

4) 2008 has the potential to be even more frightening that the 
scenario portrayed in "1984".  I feel no more secure for the freedoms 
that have been sacrificed.  YMMV.

All the best....
