But, if you choose to participate in an anti-war protest do you want your picture to go into an FBI file noting you as a "questionable" citizen or possible "enemy"? If you organize a protest do you want to end up being on a "no fly" list so that you are strip searched each time you fly? (as that article seemed to indicate has happened to some) A training camp for protestors could be simply to educate the protestors so that they don't break the law, but protest peacefully and within expected limits.

I agree with Delt Alum.. scary stuff. They have taken the Patriot Act too far and our Civil Liberties are slipping away.

It could easily go either way. We should not jeapordize people's lives in the name of political correctness. I'm sure normal peaceful protests are treated fairly. Once they go beyond this to inciting violence, rioting, etc.. I think they are actually a "questionable" citizen or possible "enemy" -- I sure as hell wouldn't want to fly on a plane with a member of the Earth Liberation Front.
