I must wholeheartedly disagree NEO. This country was founded, and still remains a Democratic Republic with a certain amount of "God given and unalienable rights". Among those rights is to travel freely. Every time a terrorist, or even a good old fashioned American criminal does something awful, we loose a minute, yet distinguishable amount of those freedoms. Over a period of 225 years those original freedoms have withered. We are a different society than in 1776, without doubt. Some things cannot stay the same. But basic neccesities like the freedom to travel, unhindered by governments interference MUST NOT be one of those that we give up. If we give a little here & a little there-at some point there is nothing left to give. Once that happens, the evil that lurks in the back alleys of our society wins. I think the current freedoms that have been given up, in the name of "safety" has hampered our way of life. !0 years ago, there was no such thing as a DUI/DWI checkpoint. Well, said the people, it's for safety. so lets give up that little bit of freedom-well, now they do random seat belt checks!!! The disgraces that we go through now to enter a public air carrier is sufficient-ever wonder how many vibrators the security personell see a day? Is it any of O'Hare security's business what medicinaL pills you pop every day. They know because your wifes bag must be "thoroughly inspected". I could go on-suffice it to say, I'm willing to lay my life on the line so that every American & foreign traveler, in the United States of America can experience a little less interference by a demanding so-to-be tyranical government.
