Wrong again.
You need to accept reality. The current situation at airports will not only get worse it will spread to other parts of our lives.
And it is just a matter of time until another Janet Reno is calling the shots rather than an Ashcroft.
And at that point some flaming liberal will be deciding by fiat what constitutes "stupid" behavior and therefore deserves state sanctions.
That is the point and you better think long and hard about it.
No, you are wrong.
You don't go into an airport and make stupid statements as this psychiatrist did.
Why are you so interested in excusing her stupidity?
By trying to interject logic and reason here, you're wasting your time.
Most Americans are obsessed with power nowadays. Look at our "reality" shows, where winning is everything; and truth, honor, and kindness are scoffed at. And look at these threads where so-called "conservatives" applaud the arbitrary abuse of power in the name of power. (The other side of the political spectrum does it too).
Our new national motto should be "might makes right", because that is what most Americans now believe.
