Re Airport Metal Detectors... Move them to the airport firing range. They'd make OK target holders. At least for a while.
The founding fathers plan for maintaining both liberty AND security, is contained in the Second Amendment.
"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." -- Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
AGREED!
We need to restore nationwide "open carry" rights for ALL citizens, not just "concealed carry" privileges for current and retired law enforcement personnel.
The practice of an "uninfringed" 2nd Amendment right by all would be our very best "homeland security".
