I'm back now because there is an attempt to better regulate this site, and comments such like that are not post. But make no mistake, if I met the average FT member here...well for my safety, I just wouldn't do it.
That's probably not a bad idea given the current situation. In the interest of intellectual honesty you might ask yourself what changed last November that could have caused some people to threaten violence. While the TSA doesn't threaten overt violence they do threaten loss of ability to travel, significant monetary loss and un-called for trips through the legal system. In my neck of the woods, (where the word "revenuer" is still heard on occasion) you'd probably hear the phrase "Y'all started it." While I think offering violence as a solution is pretty foolish you have to admit there is a long history of that in the US.
