Many have suggested here that that the government is infringing upon, even violating the 4th amendment with various legislation and actions the past two years. Now, Washington tells us that there are two dozen men living in the US that are believed to have trained in al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan.
If Washington is not bluffing, they are completely acting within the bounds of the 4th Amendment. Wouldn't the naysayers have us believe the evil republicans would just round 'em up and arrest them anyway? Vengeful vigilante violaters of our rights and personal freedoms?

The 4th Amendment:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
