We lost the freedom to discriminate in the 60's with the civil rights movement.

That's right. And we are paying for it now.

When did we have a right to carry loaded guns on an airplane?

I think it was sometime in the late sixties or early seventies that they were banned. I remember flying before they had searches or metal detectors.

"Until the early 1960s, American commercial passenger pilots on any flight carrying U.S. mail were required to carry handguns. The requirement started at the beginning of commercial aviation to insure that pilots could defend the mail if their plane were to ever crash.

In contrast to the current program, there were no training or screening requirements. Indeed, pilots were still allowed to carry guns until as recently as 1987. There are no records that any of these pilots (either military or commercial) carrying guns have ever caused any significant problems."

With psychos gunning down women and judges in courtrooms, I'd say it was a prudent measure.

But it seems to be happening more now. Especially in places where guns are banned and the perp doesn't have to worry about an armed citizen.

After 9-11 you want them flying over the WH? Planes can be hijacked. I agree with this as well.

You asked me about rights that we've lost. I gave you examples and now you are trying to justify it.

Not to appear to be a wise ass or anything, but...duh. Who wants an idiot yelling bomb on a plane.

No. Not yelling bomb. Saying the word bomb. Or having a book or magazine that has an illustration of a bomb on the cover. Or saying that a movie was a bomb. Examples of how we are becoming sheep. How we are being conditioned to acquiesce to the most insane rules. We are forced to watch women while they are fondled by moron screeners. These are all actual examples of how fascist we've become.

It's like army boot camp. Subjugation. The more idiotic the rules the more they are saying to us, "We can make you do whatever we want and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it".
