I understand what you are saying hdh1470. I hope you understand what I'm saying in my above post. I am honestly thankful on this Thanksgiving Day, and every day for veterans like you. You are included in my list of true patriots and people deserving of respect.
I hope I didn't offend you. If I did, I am sorry. I was just making a point. I don't want to give up any of the liberties and freedoms you and others fought and gave their lives and limbs to protect. There just has to be a better way to have protection against terrorist at airports than what we are moving towards.
Anyway, God bless you and yours and Happy Thanksgiving. Give those men and women a hug from me. My son-in-law was one of those young recruits last year, only he was in Connecticut. Sincerely, B.K. Cunningham
