Airport harrassment by TSA goons is the only reason I don't fly. 911 will never happen again because if they ever tried, the passengers would swarm the terrorists and pick their bones like Army ants.
And the other disturbing part is that the Act was, and had been for years, waiting in the wings, as it were until something "like" 911 happened.
Like the "Know Your Customer" banking program, where your bank is supposed to spy on your accounts and report any "unusual" activity to the FBI.
They tried to ram that through for years and we kept screaming it down, but after 911 they had a blank check, and they cashed it.
"...and pick their bones like army ants."
Right. I read somewhere that the bastards who hijacked the plane that went down in Shanksville, Pa. never reached their target because they were confronted by members of the "unorganized militia" who, seeing their duty clearly, did their duty! And I salute them! "Let's roll".
