Yes I would sacrifice my 4th amendment right to be safer on flights. I also would pay more in taxes to have federal police on every single American flight.

What a weak azs poll. It's based on a false assumption to begin with.

So, you would agree that police should be able to enter and search your home with no warrant or probable cause?

WOW!!!

My rights don't come from the Constitution. They are natural rights.

You have to excuse the many liberals that believe the Constitution is a set of rules for citizens to follow.

I answered the question within the confines of how it was framed.

Extrapolate if you will. Doesn't mean you've comprehended what I've said correctly.

I'll see your "WOW!!! " and raise you a "Give me a break already."

So you think Constitutional rights outweigh or don't outweigh perceived safety?

I'd rather be scanned at the airport, have my bags checked and go through a metal detector than have my throat slit or be bombed out of the sky.

I believed as far back as the 1990's that no Muslims should ever be admitted to the United States for any reason whatsoever. No Muslim can ever be an American.

If my want had been followed 9/11 would never have happened.
