AMEN, this is getting absurd.
You know, there ARE going to be risks associated with living in a free society. Government cannot provide you perfect security.
The only thing they can do is slowly bleed the pleasure from life by trying.
I'm shocked we haven't outlawed gasoline yet. How long before we'll need to do a fingerprint ID check before purchasing gas? Well, with genius ideas like banning model rockets, probably not as long as I'd have thought a year ago.
As for security -- Americans will be happy to have some political figure come out and announce sweeping anti-liberty reforms -- but as long as he adds the throw-away line like, "So we can REMAIN the most free, greatest nation on the Earth!" Americans will be happy to be locked in cages *for their own security* as long as someone in power assures them that the massive loss of liberty is just some illusion propagated by anti-American liberals -- that in reality, despite not being able to travel freely, and having lost any shred of privacy, Americans will still cling to the belief that they're free.
