Two questions:

1. Do you really think that giving up some civil liberties will make things safer? Fine, let's not let any Syrians, Iranians, North Koreans, or Iraqis into the country. And al Qaeda will just find another way to attack us. There are Aussies and Brits down at Gitmo. John Walker Lindh was as American as can be. It will be just like Franklin said. We will give up essential liberties for temporary security, and we'll get neither.

2. Tell me just what more you'd like from these musicians. What would it take to make you say, you know what, that woman was out of line? Actually, let me ask you this. Prove you're not a terrorist. I mean, after all, you might be an al Qaeda operative under deep cover, learning to fly, trying to get a job at an airline, and then you'll take over the plane and crash it into a building. Oh, you're not? Well, prove it to me. Can't do it? No, you can't. It's impossible to prove a negative.
