If this law was active back in 9/11 days, that means he could be thrown into jail for God knows how long. This does not just apply for suspected terrorist, but for basically anyone they want to throw into jail. This kind of shit needs to be stopped. This violates our constitutional rights, and yes you should be disturbed by this law. This kind of shit is only heard of in 3rd world countries.
Purely coincidental. Names are common and there are many races in America. They wouldn't imprison him because of a name or color alone. There is a lot of people on the no fly list. It is precautionary rather than a punishment. There has to be evidence of terrorist or treasonous activities to imprison. I'm damn sure I don't want a terrorist being released because of 'his constitutional rights.' You plot to kill massive amounts of people and go against the US of A, there's plenty of fluids for your capital punishment.
In no way does it deprive 'our' constitutional rights. It doesn't deprive mine, I'm not a terrorist nor am I plotting terrorist acts. You lose your constitutional rights when you commit terrorism. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2, The US Constitution.
