The metal detectors are run by government hacks who can barely speak English and think 5'4" white women should be searched as often as Arab males in their 20s.
Do you feel safer?
I'd prefer the airlines be de-socialized and the right to keep and bear arms respected on any airline that chose to pursue that competitive advantage. Of course the only reason airplanes became killing zones in the first place (eerily like the nation's public schools) is because the federalis made them unarmed zones.
Now before all you cave dweller fearing Lefties got here, we use to take such things very seriously and learned well from what the gun culture taught us: an unarmed citizenry leads to genocide.
Now who disarmed the public? The federalis.
A trillion dollar central intelligence apparatus failed to fulfill their jobs and to this day, not one firing, pension stripping or tar and feathering.
And still so many sheep argue the answer is more gubmint.
9/11 changed nothing.

By the time I got to post 14, I saw the barrage you received for quoting Franklin...
I would say we've lost because of the tremendous decay of once America's great culture. There is nothing, nothing except for the clauses of indian/natives, that do not apply today as if it was yesterday in regard to the writings of our fore fathers. These folks are helpless goons who look to our fed to protect them, instead of doing it themselves.

9/11 changed nothing.A buddy of mine joked that if the federal government's burning out of the seclusionist religious folks out in Waco stirred up enough resentment to restore our federal system he'd be willing to believe David Koresh was Jesus Christ. Alas...
