Non-Arab recruits scout for al-Qaeda
This is what i'm talking about... 
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...coutforalqaeda
We wait with our thumbs up our asses until someone makes a move that proves they're a terrorist or linked to a terrorist cell. Usually by the time that happens it's too late and thousands are dead.
When does this happen? After they fly planes into buildings? Then you're 110% sure they were terrorists and not linked to some sort of air traffic control fluke, right?
Here's what I think...
If the FBI has reason to put 24/7 surveillance on your actions then that's a pretty good sign you shouldn't be here in the first place. If there's a slight suspicion raised that you're in bed with a terrorist cell -or- are sympathetic of terrorists, then there shouldn't be any monkey business.
They throw your *** in the back of the black suburban with zip ties and clear your name via interrogations, through background checks and a gun to the temple. If you're free and clear they give you a lollipop and a smile... you'll have nothing to fear and can live your life. If the interrogation efforts are a success and there's a solid chance the suspect has intelligence, then you **** in his/her eye sockets for the sake of national security.
If I noticed a trend of suspicious looking vehicles parked outside my house, someone watching my every move at the grocery store and the flicker of an optic across the street, I’d walk out of the house with a sign saying "I wan to clear my name... pick me up and we'll talk"
Am I the only one that feels this way?!

The FBI has counterterrorism investigations in virtually all 56 of its field offices but has not broken up a known surveillance cell, either because agents are tailing suspects who have not committed crimes or because they have descriptions but not identities.
It is unclear how many al-Qaeda scouts are in the USA. "The FBI has their eye on or has opened several hundred investigations of people sympathetic to or supportive of" al-Qaeda, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said.

"If we knew somebody was here as an operative - and we knew who they were or where they were - they wouldn't be on the street."

I guess i would need to know what "sympathetic or supportive" meant. It's a relative term, so now if i post somthing on the internet about how bush is a moron and i don't support the war in iraq, that could be taken as being "sympathetic or supportive" of terrorism. In theory, i agree with you - but people are too corrupt and i think it would spiral into an SS type situation too easily.

It's quite simple...
It's an obvious problem if said "sympathetic and supportive" actions of an individual have tipped off FBI agents to pull surveillance on your every move.
If you say "The victims of 9/11 deserved it!" in an internet forum then I don't think you'll have anything to worry about.
If you said the very same thing in an internet discussion, worked at a fertilizer plant, were of Arab decent and a devoted Muslim, then I'd look out your window this very second.

Well, thanks, now i know what you can and can't do in Saltyland, USA. Sadly, you aren't the one defining the rules, some *******s in washington are. Now, if i had the "Srgt. Salty Guarrantee" that the plan wouldnt be abused, then i would sign up, but PEOPLE ARE BEING PUT IN JAIL FOR WEARING ANTI-BUSH T-SHIRTS!. Like i said, in theory i'm down for your cause, but it would spiral out of control and we'd find ourselves in "Brazil".

LOL 
Except in Saltyland, USA that horse would have been sitting pretty in a shish kabob next to some bell peppers and mushrooms long ago.
