>> Sometimes we have to give up a few civil liberties in exchange for security...I'll bet if Mr. Feingold lost a son or daughter in the WTC he might have a totally different view on what's appropriate.

This is why we have a representative government, and not a direct democracy. The people who only respond emotionally to events and those with demagogic intent should not be passing laws on behalf of other people. I don't want to live, "securely" or otherwise, in a country that has abandoned such concepts as probable cause and habeus corpus.
