Statistically it is far more dangerous to drive a car than to fly yet the sheep hop in their cars without worry. They are scared to death however that a bomb will go off in an air plane because they are brainwashed by the media. Sure, stick your hand down my pants in public. I’m a terrorist until proven innocent right.
The Europeans would be marching on the streets…wait, they already are.

The Pussification of America is upon us!
Flying is safe after 9/11 thanks to tighter airport security and U.S marshalls on planes.

It is easy to leave this country and start a new life elsewhere, which is why there are millions of Americans living outside of this country's borders. I personally know an American guy that lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

AS IF there was really anything to fear about flying after 9-11. If all of this crap at the airports is really effective at trapping terrorists, why hasn't the media or government advertised it to the sheeple as logical proof? Because there is no threat, that's why. The sole purpose of all of the airport crap is to keep Americans fearful and afraid to question the actions of their gov't.

Yes there is no threat at all. There is not a single Muslim on the planet who wants to do any physical harm to Americans.

Yeah I am sure the shoe bomber posed zero threat to passengers on the plane.

You have Boiled Frog Syndrome or BFS. Your freedom is slowly being stripped away but you are too distracted with your I phone toy and the Royal wedding.
The Government knows if they can get away with reaching down your pants without probable cause they can easily take the next step. Soon there will be random vehicle stops along with cavity searches. Ever hear of car bombs? The sheep will comply and feel safer while driving.

Yawn, another boogeyman is around the corner article that doesn't list what I've actually lost.

Many here have already answered you sufficiently. It seems to me that you're the one doing the trolling now, just to see who you can bait.
Nobody here has listed anything I can't do or have lost as a result of the patriot act, NOTHING.

If you're not going to listen, then stop whining. Oh wait, wasn't that your complaint? Read the link above to the Freedoms Lost Under GW Bush. And the boiling frog analogy is quite true as that writer and I have both asserted.

I read the article. It doesn't list a thing. It list things that "may" happen. I live in what we know not some random writers unfounded opinion of what might happen. Nobody can see the future. As of today, I haven't lost a thing.
