I won’t fly for two reasons. One is I refuse to surrender myself to search without warrant. The other is security now has everything so screwed up you stand a far better chance arriving on time by driving. Terrorism is nothing new. It’s just that people are now gullible as hell and buying into government generated fears.
Terrorism per se is nothing new.
Terrorism on the scale of 9/11 is. The potential for losing a city and half a million citizens in seconds makes the threat one that must be dealt with.
By any means necessary.
If that means listening into overseas calls, so be it. If that means closing all mosques and arresting all imams, so be it.
Incidentally, I have no problem driving anywhere. I have an Escalade. It certainly has better seat room and a better ride than any airliner and a much better sound system. Plus my Akita/Shiba Inu mix dog can ride shotgun with me.
