Certainly al-qaeda does not havce the technical capability to build a nuke of its own. They would have to steal one. Perhaps someone should ask Pakistan to check its stockpile.

I agree.
What happens if you too willingly give up your Freedom was shown in 1933 and the years thereafter.
The fire in the german Reichtstag gave the german chancellor Hitler the chance to pass an emergency law, which, as he stated it, was determined to catch those terrorists who dared to set fire on the Reichstag and to restore order in Germany.
It was an important step towards the Nazi dictatorship, as the law disbanded the german Reichstag, the institution which could have prevented Hitlers rise to power and the murder of millions of innocent people, and empowered him to do whatever measures he thought to be necessary to restore order, practically disbanding all citizens rights.
He used this at once by incarcerating all political enemies he had (like for example the socialist and communist parties) and persecuting all people who could pose a danger to him (for example the remainders of the free press).
