[geeks] McCain's calling for war...

_NOT_.  They'll operate as if they're under war and just go about a
day-to-day war-type schedule.  They're really already under those type
of conditions already so it won't be a big change for them.

WMD> If anything anywhere near what I think you're getting at emerges from this

Welcome to the excuse to institute 1984.  Expect to see pushes to hand
over encryption keys, loss of the ability to possess handguns of any
type, restrictions on Concealed Carry and FFL, removal of and of the
restrictions on "unreasonable search and seizure".  I honestly don't
think people are being paranoid enough about this.

WMD> To me, lack of autonomy and therefore an absence of terrorism do not seem to
WMD> go hand-in-hand.

I agree.
