You can have a great economy and still have limited rights. Just look at China. Is that who we really want to be?
Gotta agree here. The TSA is one area that the new president will actually have direct control over, and the one area that can most affect our freedoms. The issues involved here go far beyond the geeks manning the security checkpoints. It goes to the basic question of how much freedom we are willing to surrender to the government. That is likely why none of the candidates talks about it much. Blaming the other side for high gas prices is much more fun.
