Oh stop it. Opinions can vary on how to best make airplanes more secure without turning this into you "freedom fighter" versus me, "government tyrrany lover". Do you really think that your right to travel means society can't come up with rules? That airlines and the government can't decide they don't want weapons on planes, and enforce that by checking? You have a right to travel. But not unfettered on someone else's plane.

I absolutely agree that the owner of the plane can set whatever restrictions they deem neccessary. But we are no longer talking about the owner of the plane refusing someone's business. We are talking about government agents throwing innocent people in jail, and charging them with felonies. Hell if we let the plane owners decide, one of them could simply say, no Arab or Muslim men allowed. They would only become the most popular airline in the US, overnight.
