They claim they will blow up a major city if it happens. Is that okay? If so, what does the threat have to be that public safety matters enough? If not, why not it is a matter of public safety?
My problem is "public safety" is a vague term that can be stretched as far as you need it to.
All terms, including "due process", "national security", and many other are vague. Yet they are all still valid.
Are you saying that there should be no penalty for shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater? Are you saying that paranoid schizophrenics with a history of violent criminal behavior should be allowed to own guns?
You can't just say "No exceptions for anything ever!"
