Best way to control the masses is fear. Remember the Plastic and duct tape on the windows for "dirty bombs" PSA's? A little excessive.
I'm a little confused. If we're afraid of petty things like pictures of trains and juice boxes on planes, how can you say it's freedom? It's hard to say that the terrorists have won, but the level of security nowadays always makes me think of that tragedy. I don't want it to happen again, and I'm sure you all feel that way, but it's so imbedded into the public's conscience because of constant everyday reminders. When you change the way you think and act, you lose true freedom. If I can't have a simple hobby because of terrorists, well, it's pretty sad.
Maybe I should get another hobby. Maybe making gunpowder in my basement. As far as I know its still legal to do (2nd Amendment fineprint)?.
