We are all outraged.

We can squeeze tighter than they can.

They forget from time to time who is boss.

The following is a brief summary of the Milgram experiment and its significance, with additional information suggesting a way to avert a Migram scenario:

Always a pleasure.

I have a friend who works with X-rays and she was talking to me about how much more harmful those radiation is than getting and X-ray or flying. They frequently scan the employees there, I'm not sure how it works, but she said she never it beep on her, meaning her radiation levels were getting high, until after she had a body scan. Between the two I'm glad to get the pat down. I do think the government is trying to hide how bad they are and that is why they are keeping up with this pat down routine despite all the negative attention.

“Terrorists may kill a few... those who take our freedoms get us ALL.”
I pick getting an uncomfortable pat down over a single person dying any day. This is the same kind of mentality that led to the possibility of 9/11 happening. As people get crazier we have to keep stepping it up to protect every one else. How can you even say that.

I "say that" because I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States... which happens to include the 4th Amendment.

I'm not willing to give up ANY of my rights. Some things are worth dying for. I guess you are willing to give up your right to keep and bear arms because those "evil guns" are dangerous.

Yeah, better that we should all give up our guns rather than a "single person dying any day".

Again, welcome to FR. I predict a short stay. 99.9% of the folks here value LIBERTY over all else. I doubt you end up liking it here.
