| The mythical "freedom versus security" tradeoff is a false choice. The 911 attacks did not occur because Americans have too much freedom. They occurred because terrorists were able to gain access to the cockpits of hijacked aircraft. Instead of equipping all commercial aircraft with doors which could actually be used to keep hijackers out of cockpits, Washington created an Orwellian monster named the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and hired tens of thousands of minimum-wage Gestapo to root through the underwear of airline passengers and arrest/prosecute those who object. Simply setting foot in an airport is now considered to be a terrorist act. The fact that the TSA created a national airport police force without ever addressing the cockpit-door scandal is damning evidence that their mandate has nothing to do with protecting anyone. The true mission of the TSA is to turn America into a police state.
Airports are the incubators. The statists want to condition us to accept the idea that probable cause is dead and they can search our houses, our hard drives and our persons and demand to see our papers at any time. Boycott the airline industry and its airport/POW camps now, or live in a national POW camp later. |
