So instead of having a 1 way street that favors the citizen, we have a 1 way street that favors the goverment. I guess it depends on who's doing the railroading determines whether it's ok or not.

I'm tried of judges using terrorism as an excuse to rule. There's this thing called law that they tend to ignore when they do that ...

If terrorists are as numerous as the government believes, they can just keep buying refundable tickets to probe the system that way. See what they can bring thru that looks like an item they might use, and what triggers a bag search. If one gets busted, so what? Just send another lackey thru. Will refundable tickets be seen as probes for mischief and terrorism then?

There's always going to be ways to probe the system. Does that mean we continue to give up rights, privileges, and so forth to close up the holes? Just where is the line supposed to be drawn? I think that's the big question. The line keeps moving, and not in a good direction.
