I think this says it all:
She asked us not to use her name for fear of security and retaliation for speaking out.
Congratulations, DHS, you have successfully created a culture of fear. Citizens shouldn't have to fear their government.

But this has been the case for a while. Look at the backscatter strip-search machines. They compromise long-term health and safety. "Say your name loudly" compromises personal safety. Checkpoint interrogations (the "enhanced" BDO program under trial at BOS) compromises personal safety and corporate confidential information. And we won't even get into shredding the Constitution.
Our government is destroying our country & citizens in a misguided effort to "save" it.
There really is no surprise here. Especially the fact that it is - once again - Denver.
