Yes, you can. TSA checkpoints. Your luggage is scanned and/or searched, and your body is searched via metal detectors, body scanners, or even more intrusive means.

That wariness is common sense to everyone else.
I'm lowering the crime statistics by not committing crimes. I can't help what another person does. I have every right to complain about being paint with the same broad stroke as a crime. I have every cause and you don't have a say over that.

Again, what more do you expect ME personally to do that I'm not doing already? I don't care what others would be wary of me. At the end of the day, making sure I can live in this society with as little trouble as possible is MY goal. Answer those questions or go somewhere else.

Neither am I but I'm still subjected to the TSA gauntlet. I have lost that 4th Amendment right. So have you. If you're not happy about that, change it.

And we don't need more fascist measures in this country. We already have enough of that.

How do you expect me to change it? Better yet, answer my last question. What more do you expect me to do beyond what I'm doing now?

I don't buy this "get over it" crap. I value my freedom.
Post your efforts to abolish the TSA.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I'm subject to TSA searches without probable cause every F'ing single time I fly, and everyone else is subject to stop and frisk.

Don't like it? DO something to change it.

Do what? You keep telling me to do something about not wanting to be racially profiled or not wanting other fascist stuff, but you aren't be clear about it. You're just putting up a cop out.

Let me guess. Said person either has no answers to the question, or has an answer but refuses to answer. I'm already worried about more racial profiling that could take place. No one seems able to answer why I should be in favor of it. No one seems to answer how it will help ME. This is why I don't vote for Donald Trump. I look out for my own interests(in the political arena).
