That's precisely the reason that I don't fly anymore.
But that's never going to happen, especially after last September
The sad irony is that if our Rights as Free men and women were respected by the gov't prior to 9/11, the murderous terrorists probably wouldn't have tried to hijack the planes. And if they tried, they certainly would have not been successful with the pilot and several passengers armed.
Now the same corrupt gov't is using 9/11 as an excuse to further infringe upon our Rights. The whole thing is sickening.
It's probably true that the the Federal government had no right to make those rules for them, but that is a different issue than the point I'm making. The owners of private property can still do pretty much what they want, although that's being limited far too much, also.
