On the morning rush hour on July 7, bombs exploded at four different points in London, England. At least 50 people were killed in the explosions and about 700 were injured,
Explosives were placed on three separate subway trains and one double-decker bus, reported The New York Times.
In the recent terrorist attacks in London, it is reasonable to assume that more changes will be made to American security.
But what else can we do? Haven’t we already given away many rights, possibly even our constitutional rights, under the Patriot Act?

Even as these questions run through our minds, changes are occurring that concern our national security.
