In US, sleepers like Hassan is not guilty before the evidence

In Hassan case, probably he is not guilty before the evident that he killed people. If the FBI do something with his emails to the cleric in Yemen, individual like Hassan will use US individual freedom, then will file the case to the court, as violating "SUPPRESSION OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM". This is the price of the US to apply "Individual Freedom" in the America continent, which had been used in boldly way by people like Hassan, a sleeper of islamist to achieve their goal to islamize the world through martyrdom.

Hassan and his family enjoy the individual freedom that US offered to him. Compare to Palestine, his parents and simblings enjoy the economy of US to have better life. They enjoy the indivual chance to get a prosper life in US, to study at the University, to get better job, to have more money or to have better choices in many things, which they could not get it in Palestine. Hassan even dare to use "individual freedom" law to enter US military, even when US at the war of his fellow muslim land in the Middle East. What does it means? That probably means, Hassan as a sleeper, he may applied to the US milter in order to gain information, hiding behind his rank as a health consultant to gather information. Who knows the information he gained may feed the enemy of US, then they use it to spread the bad news which benefit to US enemy?

In Hassan case, it is very clear that there are many many sleepers already sleeping in US continent. They may look like a white colar worker, decent US soldiers, doctors, bussinessmen, even politicians, or they may look like a strugle blue colar workers no different with other communities in US. Oneday endemically, such sleepers will woke up then do a strike act like 9/11 or Hassan case. Or ONEDAY, when the time come, pandemically they will woke up like trojan horses and do a massive strike which none can imagine what will happen in the future?

So, we can say that there is a weakness of applying "INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM". When sleepers like Hassan successfully use the US "Individual freedom" law to hide and sleep peacefully without anybody, not even FBI or any other US national security apparatus can touch them and put them in a bar, before they prove their action.

The question is, how the US national security apparatus or other states can prevent such matter to happen and happen again? To bring out those sleepers to show their face without hiding behind the "Individual freedom" law"?
