Of course the FBI has to have a "counterterrorism jet" with which to whisk its director about the country! The "terrorists" work in mysterious and widespread ways, as evidenced by the fact that we don't see them. The "threat" is ubiquitous, and we need an FBI director who is able to fly around the country - or even the world - to ferret out dangers that only government officials are able to see. For instance, didn't we just read of a teenager being arrested for video-taping a police officer on the job? And with the Internet providing decentralized and "unofficial" means for communicating information, the next thing you know we will have people thinking it proper to write and publish reports about what the state is up to! In time, this could even lead people to question what the state does. How can we maintain a "free society" if government officials are going to have their secretive actions made public and questioned? The FBI must be able to make quick responses to such menacing behavior.
And if all of this sound reasoning doesn't persuade you to get in line with everyone else, then consider this: uh, . . er, . . .um, . . . "9/11!" Yeah, that's it, "9/11!"
