I think that is a subject on which we need to have a more serious conversation. I think that is why Director Comey mentioned that last week. and that is why the Deputy Attorney General came to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee to raise the concern. so we can have the kind of debate we always have in America when it is a balancing of privacy and security. I commend the Director for engaging Congress on this critical issue. but what it points out is that the President and this administration need to have a threepronged strategy when dealing against a terrorist threat: As I mentioned. over in Syria and Iraq. unhandcuff our military and make sure they have a strategy that will actually work over and above just airstrikes. second. try to make sure we enhance our screening system for immigration for people who come into the United States so we dont inadvertently allow someone into our country who has the intention of doing us harm. and third. do more to come up with a plan to deal with people being radicalized right here in the United States. not the least of which. I would hope the Department of Homeland Security voluntarily reverses their policy of not screening social media communications which are in the public domain. I mean. there is no expectation of privacy on the part of people posting things in a public domain such as Twitter or Facebook. particularly things like Twitter.
