By now most of the world has heard via the various news sources how a father and daughter team single handedly ALMOST took out a jet that was over 3,000 feet off the ground. Rest assured the Patriots act will protect us by possible putting that father behind bars for up to twenty five years (sarcasm).
This in my opinion is a crystal clear indication that the patriot act legislation that was originally introduced just after 9/11 is in severe need of repair. What the Act, the media, and the police, enforcing the act fail to take into consideration is intent. While, some may argue that by letting this family get away with this horrible crime we as Americans are weakening are controls over this nation. I argue the opposite; I believe that by letting an ignorant father go to jail for doing something stupid like point out jet liners and helicopters to his daughter we’re invalidating our democracy. We have to ask ourselves how much is too much. Why is it that I can accidentally stab some one with a knife and serve a much less or no prison term at all?
