WTF is a "lone terrorist"?

What they're trying for is someone who hears an Osama tape and takes the initiative, without external connections. Sorta like the 101st Airborne dude who fragged the invaders, but domestically.

In fact, they'll soon abuse this to monitor anyone, more so (or more "legally") than they do now. And antiabortion loonies, PETA, Earthfirst, folks who hang No War banners, folks without flags on their cars, anyone named Akbar or Mohammed, ..

Terrorist is the new root password to the Constitution.
