Last month, a Newmarket man spent a night in jail after he filed a friend’s fingernails without a license from the state cosmetology board.

An anarchist for sure. Seriously though, civil disobedience is good for getting the public's attention, but make sure it's what the public wants to see. The fingernail filing makes the government look silly; but most people would look down on serving alcohol to underage recruits. Pick your battles.

The fingernail bit is Civil Disobedience in a Libertarian mode, as that is typical occupational protectionist legislation that needs to be repealed, but a Libertarian recognizes that Airlines are private and can have any rules they wish. If homeland security stopped him from boarding his own airplane without a search, that would be a different story.

I never saw any poll taken that said that 20 year old army combat veteran sergeants shouldn't be able to legally drink a beer. Do you have a source for "most people"? If they've risked their lives, been wounded fighting for our country, they ought to be able to drink beer.
