"And I think you are being a bit overly dramatic to invoke the constitution and all those who died to defend it, over searches for weapons at airports."
And I think you have no idea what the men who fought and died to establish this country and its constitution actually fought for.
Americans citizens should be free to travel and maintain there rights without being treated like a potential criminal.
Where any of those maggots that hi-jacked the planes on 9-11 American citizens?
I do have to admit though, the cost of American citizenship has been really cheapened by those who don't love liberty and aren't willing to die for it.
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."--Benjamin Franklin

We disagree on the devastating impact the treatment of this couple has on America. And the law is on my side on searching airport passengers, so unless you think someone is going to go argue your side before the court and win, then my side is the constitutional one. The skies are one of our vulnerable borders all of you want to clamp down on. I agree with it.
I have been around this tree enough today. It was a good discussion for the most part! Balance is key. And through all this we find the balance.
Good night all.
