should connect to the thread, regarding a terminal dump at PDX, in which FWAAA introduced the term in November 2004. If we could popularize this phrase, so that the media picks up on the concept, we would have performed a great service for our country, from the perspectives of fiscal sanity, actual security, and most importantly our freedoms to travel and be secure in our persons against unreasonable searches (4th Amendment).
