“Sadly, you and too many others have bought into the idea that rights are granted by the government to be recinded at their will.”

Well, certain rights are granted by the government, those are called “legal rights”. Natural rights are those that are not granted by the government. However, there is no natural right to enter a secured commercial air terminal.

Right. You keep telling yourself that, so you won't be complaining when they do the same thing for busses and other conveyances.

We have a natural right to travel. I'm still amazed and saddened by how quickly most folk fell for the government's "We'll protect you" line.
