"(b) UTTERING COUNTERFEIT FOREIGN OBLIGATIONS OR SECURITIES- Section 479 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking `three years' and inserting `20 years'."

You can't mention counterfit securities without a 20 year jail term?

# It's a balance between freedom and safety
you can't have both.

it seems most americans would rather be safer

would rather keep their jobs so they agree with the right wing maniacs.

And it is a fine balance, but there are better ways to protect a people than checking what people take out from the library, and sending people away longer for crimes against their country and making it easier for people to be convicted of those crimes
