Our hospitality has been abused, and we have become less hospitable.

Should we not ask any questions? Where do you draw the line? Do you wait until someone acts before asking questions or taking action? Do people have to die to justify inquiries?

The terrorists that abused the system pointed out flaws, should they not be addressed? Is it wrong to want to know if someone who is a visiter in the US is sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden?

What about American's rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"?

A comparison to the McCarthyism of the 50's is a bit premature, unless of course, the comparison is about the vilification of America by the world.
