The Patriot Act saved many lives again today. Thanks to its provisions, FBI agents were able to discover and arrest today, a Pennsylvania man who, with a training in both physics and engineering, as well as a hatred of America, had journeyed to Houston, Texas to arrange to build and detonate a bomb for Al Qaeda. For a large sum of money, he had offered to build a hot fusion bomb and set it off where it could kill the most Americans here in the United States. Without the Patriot Act, it is believed that Homeland Security might not have been able to prove its case soon enough to be able to stop him. It seems that protecting the civil rights of terrorists is more important to some groups, and even a few in Congress, than stopping another type of 9/11 If one home-made bomb could be detonated in a theatre, a stadium or some other large public place in our country, thousands, again, could be killed or wounded seriously. America must, as this case demonstrates, keep up its guard. How many more such detesters of the American spirit, similar to this Pennsylvania man, are residents of our country and trying to find a way to annihilate some of us?
