I agree that Slashdot opinion is definitely not representative of the general opinions on the internet. There are a lot of Libertarians on Slashdot. Maybe as high as 30% or something. Much higher than the general public. For some reason computer programmers and other techies are more attracted to Libertarian ideals than most. That wouldn't explain the near 100% anti-TSA sentiment though. I'm not sure how to explain that but it definitely isn't representative of people in general. Slashdot represents quite a large group of people (hence the "slashdot effect"). So it is nice to know that Slashdot members can almost universally be counted as our allies.
