Because of the atrocities that he orchestrated on our soil back on that tragic September 11th morning in 2001 our lives have been changed, forever. Out of fear of further attacks, Americans have willingly given up our freedoms one-by-one in the effort to "FEEL" safe.
What is troubling about all of this is now we have further and further infringements on our freedoms and it is beginning to cross some cultural lines that are raising some eyebrows. Here is a link of a six-year-old girl who was "patted" down and drug-tested before being allowed to fly on one of our national airplanes. We are a far cry from the days when me and my teen-age friends would play a friendly game of "trench-coat" at the airport or boldly storm a departing plane to sing a song for a traveling singer!
I have heard that some are talking about bringing litigation against the powers-that-be for pedophile crimes as these TSA agents can view "pornographic" images of children and also for fondling these same children in routine pat-downs. We would NEVER allow teachers, priests, baby-sitters or any stranger out there the rights that we have given these TSA agents yet people continue along thinking these things are making us safe.
Israel, the country with the biggest target on their back doesn't do these silly and freedom stealing things. They address the issue and TARGET the terrorist. They PROFILE them! If you have mean friends and you travel to slimy places in the world and you fellowship with known creeps then you will be targeted. Seems like a plan to me! Let's make this about the people DOING the crimes, not making us, the U.S. citizen the criminals. Ridiculous!
