The United States Government would not be able to train and hire that many FBI agents. There are over 300 million people in this country.\n\nAnd besides, we still have the 1st Amendment.

If you give up freedom for security, you'll end up with neither.  This is paraphrasing a statement made by that Ben Franklin guy several years ago :)  I think it's true, though.  Who cares if you are safe, if you have no freedom? If I locked you up in a box and kept you under my bed, I could totally protect you and keep you safe from everything... but would it be worth it?

FBI has more control.  They can operate outside the country as well.  They can also investigate the CIA....

If the security personnel at the airline gates had confiscated the boxcutters from the terrorists, that would have prevented 9/11. We don't need them taking tweezers from little 90 year old ladies, or becoming federal employees, or a multi-billion dollar homeland security department that cannot find it's own rear end with both hands but is all ready to spy on United States citizens without warrants or probable cause. We just needed someone awake at the metal detectors and our country would still be America instead of Amerika.

If they could, they probably would not tell anyone for fear of the govornment.\nCan you imagine what they would do to someone with those kind of powers?  They'd probably have them locked in a cell!

It is so much safer having a police officer living in the neighborhood. the only people who wouldn't want them living in their neighborhood is someone who is doing something illegal and fears that the police officer will find out.

The US Consulate will be able to advise you on what the local laws are and what you can do to protect yourself and her against these threats.  You need to be very careful here, don't assume that just because your American they wont come after you.

I am not a Republican, but I play one on TV...:-) Seriously, I believe that they feel trading some freedom for more security is a wise policy.  I understand the need to feel safe, and I am generally in favor of measures that increase our security.  However, that does not extend to the Patriot Act, which I see as a slippery slope away from what America is supposed to be.

No.  Because it wouldn't work.   First of all the Secret Service is under the treasury's authority.  Each agency has their own duties.  FBI is responsible for investigations, The Marshal Service responsible for convicts, fugitives, and federal court security.  Postal Inspectors work directly for the post offfice, dealing only with mail fraud.\n\nJust due to the different things each agency is responsible for it would make it to complicated to have everything under one roof

Wouldn't it be ironic? If the laws that have been re-written in order to capture and prosecute the 'terrorist' both domestic & foreign were to be used in order to prosecute our own government? Since these laws are being used to spy on us as a country and as individuals, I say why not spy on yourselves? Find the one's within your own networks. And if that leads to the president and/or and top executives being 'held without charges' for who knows how long.... Lead on Macbeth!!!

All the people.\nI would make them all happy, tolerant, respectful of each other, understanding towards each other. So that Britain would become like one happy family.\nPeople looking for partners would find it much easier, there would be no terrorist threat began in this country. The prisons could be used as museums about our terrible past. Children would be safe, everyone would be safe, as far as safety from threats within Britian, other than accidents.\nAs a bonus it would be much easier to cut pollution, there would be no need for thousands of cars with one person in, all going the same way.

The FBI has a critical need to hire new Special Agents and Professional Support personnel to support and to carry out the honorable mission of the FBI. These vital roles help the agency continue to meet the challenge of global terrorism and homeland security.\n\nIn working for the FBI, you will have a daily impact on the nation's security and the quality of life for all U.S. Citizens. A career with the FBI will provide you with a challenging, compelling, and rewarding experience.

Not only is it a possibility it is very likely. The US employees Intelligence Tatics (CIA, and secret military units) overseas. These units live in the country as nationals, speak the language, have a job and so on. They are there in case they ever needed and would be the preemptive strike in the event of war with that country. This is fact that these units are there, not conspiracy theory.\nWould not be easier in the US for people of another country to do the same thing? I mean in American we preach diversity, we teach foreign child in their own language at our tax payers expense. We embrace multi-culturism and acceptance. Would it not be easy for a Muslim terrorist group to form within a government protected Muslim church? \nI am not saying that all Muslims are terrorist, but with our acceptance of diverse cultures and the lack of assimilation that is desired by many Americans, the extreme Muslims who are terrorist could come to American and fit in quite nicely.

It wouldn't matter to me if the FBI is doing just what you're asking about.  Expressing my opinion is far from showing intent.  I may hate things about the government and it is my right to say that I hate them.  But to get into trouble because I express opinions is a far cry from proving that I intend to do anything against it.  Let the FBI watch and moniter all it wants.  I answer questions and express attitudes everywhere with a clear conscience.
