Your house is a commercial airliner?

No, it isn't. The question is "Do you have the right to carry C4 in the soles of your shoes?", not "Do you have the right to carry C4 onto a commercial airliner in the soles of your shoes?". You obviously do not have the right to do that. This was pointed out to you in post 232, but you chose to ignore it. I would also say you don't have the right to walk around in public with a bomb in your shoe, but C4 by itself does not constitute a bomb.

"Will the Libertarians decry the loss of his right to carry C4 plastic explosives in his own private shoes? And what's with the stewardess FORCING him to not light his own sneakers, thereby depriving him of his own God-given free will? Shouldn't we just punish people over what harm they actually do rather than the harm they MIGHT cause? After all, maybe the C4 was a dud, maybe it would have sputtered out. Maybe it would have gone off and caused an elderly woman to cough, and then she could have sued him in a civil court. Maybe it would have damaged the plane and maimed others, in which case the statists might be well within their Constitutional powers to arrest and punish the malcreant within the next 2 minutes. And why should anyone be allowed to force their own majoritarian morality onto Mr. Reid? Who says we are allowed to judge actions as right or wrong?" --Cultural Jihad
