“I wonder how far we are from The Incident on King Street.”
I pray to God that we never do, but should it happen, I don’t think that it will happen at an airport. I think that something like that could take place on a highway now that the TSA VIPER teams are conducting roadblocks for no other reason than they think that they can. Make no mistake, this is about control, pure and simple.
The more that they do it and get away with it then the more commonplace it becomes and thusly becomes grudgingly accepted by a cowed populous.
It is interesting that in response to 9-11, instead of truly securing our borders and giving those in charge of immigration the tools needed for fast, accurate assessment, the DHS was instituted by EO # 13228 on October 8, 2001.
A basic question is why was 9-11 used as an excuse to install ever encroaching surveillance and abrogations of freedom in place of securing our borders and halting the flood of entrants, illegal and legal, from countries that hate us?
