Note to self: Pass through airport security with cupcakes made with copious amounts of ex-lax.

TSA screenings aren't just for airports anymore - Los Angeles Times
"We have to keep them [terrorists] on edge," said Frank Cilluffo, director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University in Washington.
Should be rewritten as: "We need to keep imagining an enemy so as to stay in power and continue our assault in civil liberties."

Keep terrorists on edge? I gues there's one under every bed now, keep expanding TSA and Patriot Acts to "keep them on edge."

Bleh bleh bleh, sacrificing a little freedom for a little security. It's been said over and over but means nothing unless the American people stand up and say "No more!"

The TSA is nothing more than another program used to skim funds from. It created tens of thousands of low IQ zombie jobs, added numbers to the dismal employment roles, thus serving a double purpose. It's right in there with the war on drugs and the EPA, creating one big basket of useless BS meant to control people.

Franklin warned us; FDR warned us; Eisenhower warned us... politicians and law makers are ignoring us.

This is one of the most blatant trouncings of the Constitution in history and more proof that Liberals and Conservatives are colluding to empower themselves over us.

We have been brainwashed by the government. The threat is overseas; the threat is not them.. it is in some foreign land... and people believe it.

I am sick of it!

Why aren't people doing anything about it? If you attempt to educate them, they call you crazy! But they are so oblivious. It is freakin amazing.
