Many of the same people who bitch and moan about these inconveniences are the same ones who will scream "Why didn't Bush do more" if a bomb goes off.

OH CUT THAT OUT. I've seen that line too much recently.

Per the recent thread on propaganda, that line serves to undermine those with a legitimate differing view. Many of us on FR oppose anything that plainly violates the Constitution, in this case the 4th Amendment (as the ID check only served to enforce compliance with ID checks, with absolutely no outcome serving security or any other legitimate purpose).

And likewise I am sick and tired of seeing comparisons made between this type of action and either the Nazi's or the tyranny of communism, as was done in the original posting. There is a huge difference between the actions of both the Nazi's and Communists and the incident described here. The principle difference being that under those regimes people faced death for any resistance. Being asked to show an ID, while on a bus near a potential government target is a far cry from that.

Yes, I am also aware that I disagree with many fellow Freeper's on this subject, so be it. To be honest, I find it a bit odd, that so many conservatives feel the need to seemingly take pride in their stated refusals to co-operate with security and law enforcement.

Would you happen to have a link to that thread?
