I guess responses to this thread goes to answer how so many of our liberties and freedom have been taken away. It is done by gradual attrition. I know in my life time I never expected to see a judge overrule the vote of the people. Do you suppose people at one time never dreamed something like the Federal Reserve would be created?

Did you ever imagine there would be a Constitution Free Zone, a 100-mile band around the coast and borders of Mexico and Canada where no constitutional freedom applies?

Just a few short years ago, I would have argued that the government would never take over businesses in America or that we would never be forced to buy insurance. Sharia Law being upheld in any of our courts? Not a chance. Guess again.

I don't care if this TSA incident happened six months ago or six days ago. To one person or to 100. It is wrong.

Now we just stand there while we are searched and our belongings are seized all in the name of safety.
Thank you BK; I thought I was in the Twilight Zone with some of the reactions to the articles I've posted here.

I'm gratified for your serious response to a serious issue.
