This would be a good way to destroy civil liberties and bring down the US economy.

Your plan is a bigger threat to the US than terrorism
The question is- Do you want to FIX the problems, or continue to dance around the edges and point fingers when something happens? I know the cost would be unreasonable, that doesn't mean I can't hope it would happen.
