The non-compliant party is making no violent gestures, but the government is threatening property, freedom, and even life in its assertions.

Too often people fail to notice this juxtaposition, criticizing someone for "rocking the boat", failing to note the incongruous lengths to which the government will go to stop that rocking.

Latest prime example: TSA is doing random checks of drinks bought inside the secured area. Most people would express dismay at someone resisting such a check: "why not allow the check? do you have something to hide?" Instead they should be outraged at insistence of the check: "TSA is willing to go so far as to arrest, even shoot, someone just for not consenting to a bought-in-the-secured-area coffee check? WTF?"

Good points. The TSA itself is a WTF.
