64. The point is to acclimate the general public to intrusions on their personal liberty.
Edited on Mon May-09-11 08:55 PM by baldguy
Strip-searching toddlers & grandmothers, and feeling up people's crotches doesn't do anything to catch actual terrorists engaged in actual terrorism. Regular, boring old police work by the FBI and state & local authorities, and plain intelligence analysis by the CIA have been much more effective, many times over.

What the TSA supplies to the flying public is FALSE security. The sooner we all clue in to the fact that the Great Grope - and every other "enhanced security" feature left over from the Bush Regime we have to deal with - has nothing to do with security & needs to be jettisoned, the better off we'll be.
