I dread the day when anybody can board any flight any way they want to, just because they are entitled to. But then again, it will never happen like it did, right?
OK,
you don't mind the government tracking your flying or Safeway tracking your purchases. Obviously, others do, but I'm curious about you. Where do you draw the line? If the government wanted to track your eating, would that be OK? How about your sex life? There simply must be some point at which you say, "Enough!" Different people draw that line in different places.
