I think your comment was fair in that you shared your belief that fear of terrorism caused more disruption than actual terrorism. On the other hand, it seems to me there was a time when everyone on Free Republic was not so GD sure of their own pet opinion on everything. I think I've gotten older and the Free Republic crowd has gotten younger and cockier. But hey, I could be wrong.

Yes, I did go a little bit overboard in my reply and shouldn't have but I really resented the un-American charge. The media whipped everything into a fury back then and I'm afraid they'll do it again during Gulf War II (if it ever happens), just when we're flying. Just look at the recent duct tape crap.
