It is true that ever since 9/11 secuirty has been stepped up dramatically in the United States and it very well does affect our privacy. However, i feel this method is neccessary as there is a real threat out there. Yes there is a privacy issue which makes us all feel like a suspect but until we can find a better way or prove that this system does not keep our citizens safe, I feel that this is necessary.

I joined the Marine Corps post 9/11 and i have been deployed to a combat zone in Iraq where i have seen my fellow Marines killed in action because of this threat. I am thankful enough to have returned home safetly but for those who are still out fighting the good fight, lets start by keeping our country safe and not have to prolong this already long war and bring our troops home.
