I think that was the most comprehensive posting I've seen on the subject. I wanted to point out that my posts seem really against things, but I do believe that the government MUST protect us from explosives. That is the only thing a passenger cannot defend against. Everything else should be in our court, but there are alot of crazy and untrained people in the world that think they know what they are doing. I don't have that training, and I'd feel real uneasy about trying to identify the "bad guy" in an evironment where everyone has a weapon.

I would just like to have all of my freedoms back. Unfortunately, in all democracies (I think...) the few bad apples have spoiled everything and there is a slow gradual eroding of rights. All in the name of "safety" or "national security". *sigh*
