The story might be fake, but your reaction is not fake, and is disgusting. Yeah let’s trust the courts, God knows they’ve never gotten one wrong.
Oh I’ll blame the government for not doing anything, because these things are doing NOTHING to stop terrorism. 9-11 didn’t happen because of a lack of airport security, it happened because a lazy government couldn’t be bothered to deport people from a terrorist backing country (which they still won’t admit) with expired visas. These things are treating American like criminals for the sole purpose of having excuses to arrest them. Sudafed ID check hasn’t slowed meth production, but it does give them another DB to check if they find somebody inconvenient.
In general terrorists have field day whenever they want to strike. But they are not able to attack commercial air liners. Is this luck or better security since 9-11? How would you know or tell? I am probably willing to assume more risk when I fly than the average person. But I think most people are against the inconvenience of airport security as opposed to being against the goal itself. Am I wrong?
