Are Americans ready to go through TSA type of security to enter any building or venues?

I think the Va Tech shooter was an exception and arrived as a child with his parents from So Korea.

They let their parents in though, at least in the case of the most recent radical Islamist terrorists.

And yes, before anyone says it, I know not all terrorists are motivated by Islamic extremism. But a significant portion are.

Kinda makes a mockery out of those words "freedom" and "liberty" doesn't it? I guess they weren't that important after all.

Let's see. Stop by Home Depot at 10AM; pass thru magnetometer; riiiiing. Every fourth person entering is carrying. No problem.
Next stop by Walmart at 10:50AM, pass thru magnetometer; riiiiing. Every fourth person is carrying. No problem.
Go by Chipotle at 11:45AM, pass thru magnetometer; riiiiing. Sale at Macy's, stop by at 2PM; pass thru magnetometer, riiiiing. Every fourth person is carrying. No problem.
And on and on during a typical day in Virginia or Florida or Louisiana.
Never a problem, and we would get tired of hearing the riiiiing alarm every time we enter a building.
Is that what you mean?
