i believe the govt is supposed to keep us safe. but this tsa and terrorism stuff is just stupid. i think the american people need to go on strike against airline travel. just bring it to a full stop. these "rules" would disappear overnight if we rebelled. of course hardly anyone cares enough to bother.
This is precisely the problem. We (Americans) are too busy with our tweets and Facebook to care about anything important. Sometimes I feel like I must be getting old, but the way we ignore real world problems because we are too consumed with what Charlie Sheen is saying or what Lady Gaga is wearing is absulutely appalling to me. I am really not a conspiracy theorist, but it's the dumbing down of American. We (as a society) are fat, happy, stupid and powerless because we are too consumed in consumerism to care about having our civil liberties ripped away one by one.
