We have more rights and freedom today than at any point I can recall. Heck, up until the 14th amendment was passed, the bill of rights did not apply to the states. Not until 1920 could women vote. Miranda rights, freedom of expression, right to privacy, etc.
what do you want people to do, all be armed on the aircraft? Then some nut will shoot a screaming toddler, or a panicked passenger. What are you thinking! Freedom works is a great catch phrase....but we've never been worried about foreign terrorists that had so much "2nd amendment" rights themselves that they are armed to the teeth and aiming to obliterate us. That particular 2nd amendment allows thugs, terroists, drug cartels and war-mongers to have free rein making many billionaires and maiming and killing everyone else!
ROFLMAO
What happened on 9/11/01? Some terrorists with boxcutters killed hundreds...
Typical Brady-style anti-gun argument, just like the "blood on the streets" which hasn't happened yet when gun laws are repealed...

Why doesn't this happen all the time in public places?

And an individual to be armed and to protect themselves.
By the way,criminals cannot legally own firearms,why aren't they afraid of breaking the law?
Millions of American citizens stand in line every day either being x-rayed or being felt up by TSA agents for the mere pleasure of flying.
I know that this is a subject which has been discussed to death, but it shows how willing we are as a people to feel safe.
The Constitution no longer matters.
I likely go through airport security more in a year than you will in your whole life. It ranks pretty low in my business troubles. Few of the countries problems are caused by airport screening other than it getting the tin foil hat wearing high school dropouts all worked up.
As long as planes can be commandeered to be used as weapons to fly into buildings national security will trump your "none of the governments business"
Yes, but they cannot do that any longer. If you had NO security, the bad guys cannot commandeer a plan to fly into a building. All they had to do is train the pilots to not open the cockpit door. Problem solved.
TSA has never prevented anyone from flying a plane into a building. And never will.
