I don't regard being screened as submission to authority. I regard it as doing my part of ensure that we are not all murdered on the plane. I regard it as like voting, paying taxes, obeying the law,,the duty of a citizen. But I am a strange person,,I like authority, for the most part I think our government serves us well, I like the President, I respect people who are doing their job. Some people on this thread in my opinion are juveniles with aggressive chips on their shoulders, looking for someone, anyone to accuse of thinking wrong, looking for a fight, paranoic and posiing as constitutionalists and patriots. Some growing up and accepting the burdens of citizenship as well as the rights and freedoms seems indicated to me.

We don't even have the guts to call the Saudi's our enemies. Shaking down grandma and cajun girls doesnt do a damn thing to improve your safety.

I regard it as like voting,

In a Free Republic there would be very little to vote on. Try some Bastiat. The Law is in my profile.

paying taxes,

Taxes are now some 2X higher than those in "Communist" China thanks to the passive attitudes of the Americans like you. They are printing funny money so fast as to threaten the very financial infrastructure of the nation. The GSEs will implode within 2 or 3 years. Hope you like serfdom, cause that's what we are headed for.

obeying the law,

There are so many laws, immoral laws, and contradictory laws it is impossible to be law abiding. This is, of course, the idea.

But I am a strange person,,I like authority,

Lets hear it for bland conformism, Whoopeee.
