I think you are correct in that we are swinging way too far toward a police state. I think the government is still on our side, but is reacting to the incident with everything they can think of without looking at the consequences of those actions and new laws.

A lot of these actions are merely PC and "feel good" reactions to make the common uninformed American think that the government is now protecting them from all harm.

A lot are also tyring to rapidly recover from the massive damage the Clinton administration did to the military, CIA, FBI, NSA and other intelligence agencies.

There is a fine line between Sun Tzu's "Plan for what your enemy can do, not what you think he will do" and "He who protects everything, protects nothing."

Hopefully, we can reach that point with the Constitution intact.
