For the past 5 or so years every time I head out of security and into a terminal you could hear me mutter under my breath "I want my country back.". It's become a mantra for me. The sad thing is that the indignities and trampling of rights by TSA is only the most obvious tip of the iceberg. Extraordinary renditions. Non-contestable detention. Illegal wiretapping. etc. etc.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that conveys the idea wonderfully: "Bring back reality".
