Houston...We Have A Problem!

Oh this just keeps getting better! The tyrants at the TSA, empowered by the liberal Obama administration have evoked yet another police state like mandate. Your going to love this one! If you enter the line and decide to decline to pass through the body scanner, and also believe that their hands patting down the private parts of your body is just a little to evasive for your tastes, you cannot leave the airport. You will be detained for police questioning and subject to a possible $11,000.00 fine. Whatever you do don't enter the security line and remember you forgot your cell phone in the car!

What does the dictator in the White house have to say for his minions stomping on your freedom of choice? "I've consulted with the TSA and Homeland Security officials and this is the only policy they can arrive at, at this time." So because of an invented emergency, it's okay to deny you of the right to choose. What's next? What freedom granted to you by our forefathers is going to be taken away next because it's for your own good? Could it be the right to bear arms? How about freedom of speech? They already have a full frontal assault on freedom of religion going on, and they didn't even have to declare an emergency to do it!

It'll soon be the ten year anniversary of the attacks of 9/11, and this is the best we can do. How does the most inventive, entrepreneurial nation in the world stand in checkmate, a victim of fear? We're sacrificing the very rights our ancestors fought and gave their lives for, in the name of security. You can count on one hand the number of attempts to use terrorism in the air in the past ten years, in which time millions of flights cross the sky safely, yet we allow it to alter our daily routines, and bypass our liberty.

We are not attacking the root of the problem, we are simply looking for the weeds to pop up. We aren't treating the disease, we are trying to ease the symptoms. It's time to take measures that confront the problem head on, and stop poking around the edges. I'm sorry if that could be described as profiling, but someone with criminal intent in their heart, rights, are simply less important then mine!

God Bless!
