As much as I respect your point of view, H20, and I do, the appropriate place for your post would be in the Travel/Security forum, since it is not related to a news story.

Having said that, about 80% of the stories here have a tenuous connection to news, and exist only to allow people to grind a political axe in the most public forum they can find. But we don't seem to have any effective moderation here on a consistent basis to protect against that.

So perhaps you could relocate your post there?
