I've got nothing to hide either -- but I do have something to stand up for and that's the civil liberties of all of us. Agreeing to this whole concept is WRONG WRONG WRONG!</font>
Your civil liberties are not being violated because this would be VOLUNTARY.
If you do not want to give up the information, then don't do it. You don't have to, and nobody will be arresting you if you do not disclose that information.
If you want to blow past the lines, you will have to give up some information. If you do not want to give up that information, then don't do it, but be prepared to wait in line.
How anyone can claim that their civil liberties are being violated when the disclosure of information is
VOLUNTARY is beyond me.
And spare me the whole slippery slope first they came for the Jews nonsense. It is simply not applicable in this situation. Nobody is coming for ANYONE.
It is an insult to the six million Jews who were slaughtered to compare an inconvenience like airport screening to the concentration camps.
