You'd have to catch them first. What would you do to prevent yet another strike? That's why our means of obtaining intelligence has to be top notch and your objection to our losing some of our "personal liberties" is in question here. I'd be willing to forego some of mine to prevent another attack, or worse.

But we are discussing personal liberties, not war. And the erosion of personal liberties does little to assist in war efforts.

I thought we were talking about freedom and what it takes to obtain and maintain it. Also, there are no personal liberties to be had without freedom.
The big, bad terrorists out there would love nothing more than to be able to take all that away from us and impose their rules of law and ways of life on us. I guess the question is - how far would you be willing to go to maintain your current freedom and personal liberties?
