"Those who will sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."
Who said that? Oh well it was a couple hundred years ago and he knew nothing about terrorism. OH, yes, he had been one, but they won so he was a freedom fighter. But, the people the USA was worried about at the time were British sympathizers, weren't they?
So the US has already given up on freedom so the bad guys won. The TSA should not even exist because they cannot find the obvious threats much less subtle ones. Modest security steps can do as well as the draconian stuff we have now.
