Oh please don't give me the "I was questioned so i must have been penalized" argument. Pure example of the pussification of America. Hassles are not penalties no matter how you spin it.
Great way to teach people to shut up and give in to totalitarianism, isn't it - hassle people so much whenever they have a policy disagreement with the government that they eventually learn to keep their mouths shut.
I respect your opinion but carefull not to "chicken little" everything.
