knives don't stab people people stab people!

You find increased security at airports and better surveillance of potential terrorists to be an errosion [sic] of your personal liberty?  How has your personal liberty been curtailed because of anti-terrorism measures?

Well indoctrinated, ain' t ya?

TSA can strip search you, your spouse, your kids - without a search warrant.

They force you to be trackable - you can' t be annonymous by paying cash for a flight - and you might have a good reason to do so.

Want to take grandma a quart of maple syrup- or a jar of honey in your carry on? Nope, not anymore. Apparently - you can now make a bomb out of products made of sugar.

Small shit? Sure.


That's how ERROSION works.

Just a little bit at a time.

Well, you could ALWAYS make sugar-based bombs, so that bit's not really relevant.

TSA searches have been legal since the 1970s.  They don't violate the 'unreasonable searches' thing.

And (I had to search this one) yes...you CAN buy a ticket for cash.  Not sure if you'll remain annonymous [sic], though.

Bearing in mind that all of the things that you're objecting to are intended to help prevent terrorist attacks in the US and elsewhere, would you rather that governments had done nothing and allowed maniacal mass-murderers free reign?  What would you suggest as an alternative to these measures?
