“I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery” ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau
TSA forced woman, 95, to remove adult diaper for pat down, daughter says
You know, there are probably a lot of Americans--and I count myself among them--who would be quite willing to feel a little less "safe" and get all of our rights back.
If the issue of "safety" is even the case, nowadays. I don't think it is. Osama bin Laden is dead, al-Qaeda is in disarray--I don't think the TSA's ridiculous procedures are even necessary anymore. Focus on scanning and/or searching the cargo instead of the passengers, give me a disclaimer to sign if the airlines feel like they have to protect themselves against lawsuits--hell yeah, I'll sign it.
As Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
I know which one I want.
