Bob, the idea that by paying $100 a citizen can have a shot at having one's Fourth Amendment rights better preserved at an airport -- notice that I say a shot, because as you have repeatedly told us, there is no guarantee of expedited screening -- is an insult to the meaning of this country.

Let me guess: I bet that yesterday, you were one of those flag-waving "patriots" squealing, "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free."

You know how people say, "Freedom isn't free"? The TSA brings new meaning to that saying.

Your employer is an insult too this country's very core. And by accepting a paycheck from said employer, you are a part of the problem.

I don't know whether you will post this comment, but maybe it will get you to start thinking about the disgusting government agency known as the TSA.
