My God, where is that banjo music coming from?

If you'd like to contribute to the discussion, fine, please do so. Otherwise, your inane comments like "And who and the HELL are you to have "Give us liberty or give us death" " really don't add anything of value here.

As for security and freedom, that price was paid long ago when this nation was established and our Constitution was written. However, now some people want to trade that freedom for safety, or at least the illusion of it. If you're going to start stripping away people's personal liberties every time the terrorists strike, you might as well just chuck the entire American way of life into the trash and practice goosestepping. Are you going to let the terrorists dictate to us what freedoms we can and cannot have? Are you willing to let the terrorists continue to economically attack commercial aviation in the United States by suporting a "random security" policy that drives profitible customers away?
