I was actually taking more of an issue with your statement: "50,000 high school dropout"
Quibble to your totalitarian heart's content about semantics, but the airport screener position is a job that requires ZERO - I repeat, ZERO - brains or preparation. All that is required to be an airport screener is the TSA's 40 hour training course for new hires. That's it. Nothing more.
It is a make-work program for people who can't get real jobs. The only way airport screening could ever be truly effective is to strip-search every single passenger before boarding, and even that would not be 100% effective, but if they did start strip-searching passengers NO ONE would fly, except for people who enjoy body cavity searches.
I am doing my part to take the airport screeners' Fascist jobs from them by boycotting airports. I am not alone.

My God man, semantics is what separates the civilized from the uncivilized. It is what language is all about. Now, stop and regroup. You have valid points. You can express them effectively so don't cheapen them by name calling or inflating statistics, that's what the liberals do.
Now, cool your head a bit and think logically. Take that logic and apply it to your beliefs. Now express it in words that are reasonable and understandable, without name calling or vilifying everyone who opposes your firm beliefs. Then people will listen to you.
By the way, what age group are you in? I have a feeling you are either over 60 or under 20 years-of-age. I also think you are a high school graduate with some college but probably not a degree. I have found that many people who critcize the lack of education are covering up for their own lack of advanced education.
I suppose you already know that justshutupandtakeit attended the University of Chicago (hard to get into, steep reqirements) and has a master's degree, in economics, from Wayne State (it's on his bio here). Yes, he probably works for the government but I wouldn't call him any of the things you did. I think you are playing with fire here and you will only get burned and look stupid.
Stick with your original thought, support it, and stop name calling.
