Homeland Security has the power it has because we are afraid. Terrorists have probably planned dozens of attacks our government has thwarted and not publicized. We know that some suspects are detained longer and "questioned" in ways that standard civil law does not allow, yet we look the other way because we'd rather be sure we are safe and let one man or woman suffer for it.
Real ID is on the way in a year or two. Wire tapping is already allowed on national security threat "suspects". American citizens are systematically losing one small freedom after another, and more power is being handed over to security, intelligence, and military organizations. Why?
