To: a fool in paradise
I didn't even have to wait to see the pictures. I knew I didn't want to have mine taken. It's appalling how many Americans are willing to trade liberty for a very dubious safety.

We're seeing another version of the "gun control" mentality. Take away guns from everyone, in the hope of keeping guns from criminals. Here, it's violate everyone's liberties, in the hope of keeping a bomb off the plane. Just as in the case of "gun control," where it would be better to control criminals than disarm honest people, at airports it would be better to look for bombers than for bombs.

When was the last time an Amish grandmother took a bomb on an airplane?

Thanks. It is the gun control mentality to a T. The gun grabbers disarm law abiding citizens, leaving armed criminals who don’t obey laws to wreak havoc. Here, we force innocent citizens to preen in front of Nazis, while the potential terrorist population is exempted.

This is madness, and you called it.

Don’t forget with the “background checks” for guns, they assured the public that the paperwork would be reviewed then destroyed after a few days. It was being stockpiled along with everything else.

When corrupt figures lie to the public on matters of privacy rights, they have violated the oaths of their offices. We are now seeing it from unelected officials who often take no oath. But it is corruption all the same.

Get them under oath before Congress so if they lie about “not saving images” or “about telling anyone images would not be saved”, they can be prosecuted.
