JR, once again I think your argument is contradictory. You yell and scream at the Liberals for being "paranoid" and "fear mongers", when they bring up the possibility that some of our privacies may be infinged on. Then you claim that internal security (spying on our citizens) is necessary because of the terrorists threats. That is just as paranoid. It is not logical to accuse one group of using fear and then ignore the same tactic by another group. If you truly believe passing these laws making it easier to spy on our citizens will protect us from terrorists, then say so. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You are paranoid, I am paranoid, "they" are paranoid. We are all paranoid, but for different reasons.

My opinion on this is that making it easier to spy on citizens does not make us any safer.

Now here comes the part where JR says that the terrorist threat is real. OK, lets assume that it is. That does not give the government the right to spy on our citizens. You pay a price for freedom sometimes. Some of us are willing to take the risks and pay the price. Others want complete and total security. News flash, you ain't gonna get it.
