The commie/fascist US government in the 1940s even had the nerve to tell the average citizen when to travel or not. Violation of the Constitution! How foolish of us to be taken over by Big Government/Police State Powers! /sarc

You seem to forget one big, important thing: World War II was a Congressionally declared state of legal war. We have no such declarations made, thus we are *technically* at peace. People don't mind having their rights temporarily abrogated (sp?) during legal periods of war, because WARS END. I think people are right to be worried about a "wartime style" system that turns many people into informants, a system which has only been used in dictatorships in the past, during periods of technical peacetime. It's all part of the Socialist Wars Without End, that was the cornerstone of 1984, and that people like you mindlessly shill for the Federal Government is nauseating at best.
