I tipped on the TSA a while back when I was reading the blog and was basically told that the TSA follows the law. Curious critter that I am I looked into the law and found that the TSA was breaking the law at almost every turn. Laws to me are the rules we play by. I expect the people in authority to follow the rules.

When I questioned Francine Kerner (TSA Chief Legal Counsel) about the forced ID verification as a criterion for granting access to the sterile area, the answer was unsatisfactory in all regards. I may not be a lawyer but I can read. If you treat me as being too stupid to comprehend your lofty thoughts or are dismissive, it makes me determined to prove whatever you thought you were right on, wrong.

I can forgive a temporary bending of the law such as we had right after 9/11 with troops stationed in the airports, BUT I can not forgive the intentional breaking of the law by a Government entity.

The ID question came up while Bush was still in office and is not what made me fear my Government. That fear came in after the current administration came on the scene.

Reasons I fear our Government

• The "Right Wing Extremist" report that was so broad anyone that disagreed with the left is on it.
• The forcing of private businesses to take bail out money so the government can gain control.
• The Administration talking down the economy in order to make the recovery seem better.
• The spending on Government programs to "boost" the economy.
• The further overreaching by the Feds into states rights areas.

And things of that nature.

It seems that everything the current Administration is doing is advancing more control by the Federal Government in areas they have no business being. They seem to be trying to get as many people dependant on the Federal Government as possible. If that means tanking the economy so be it.

Firing the CEO of a private company is out of bounds, buying controlling interest in a company is out of bounds, forcing banks to take bailouts so you can control wages is out of bounds.

Ok I will wrap it up. I think that this Administration will try to force us into a depression, attempt to limit gun rights, attempt to limit travel rights, attempt to limit states rights, and attempt to limit personal liberties.

p.s. I don’t want any argument over my opinion on why I fear my Government posted here. I do not want this thread to get derailed or go Omni. If you feel you need to tell me how the cow ate the cabbage please post a comment on my blog. (link is in my signature) I just felt I needed to give a complete answer to the question.
