Most importantly, would you have been willing to give up the freedom to make your own decisions for the duration of the war and serve in the Armed Forces?

If Americans had not given up those freedoms in Dec. 1941, they would have precious little freedom today.
Since we're not at War, I'm a little unclear as to the purpose of this post.

Additionally, you're discussing giving up access to material objects that were used for a declared War, not idiotic harassment with contributes nothing to security of airports.

I am grateful for those who have and do serve and do all I can to make sure that the freedoms they fought for are not pissed away by some pencil-necked imbeciles who couldn't secure a paper sack. Added: The pencil-necked imbeciles I was referring to are the TSA management.
