Re: Air travel carry on restrictions - what's next?

On CNN's Paula Zahn tonight, one of the talking heads (sorry, I didn't
get his name or credentials) said that it would be much easier to
identify people of concern rather than screen all carry-on items for
potential explosives. He said that someone who is about to take his
own life and the lives of many others will show very clear,
measurable, identifiable signs of stress that should be easy to spot.
How do y'all feel about that? It makes sense to me, but I can already
hear the "profiling" protests.

Bullshoes! They already have! Because of 9/11 Georgie feels carte blanche
to rape the constitution, our civil liberties all in the name of protection.
Yet our borders are wide open! Our ports are wide open! The baggage is
never screened in the cargo holds (that's how they really will get the
planes). They are not even beginning to protect us in the simplest of ways.
They are still seeing as many guns, knives and weapons as they did before
9/11. No change! They just want more control over us and to change our
freedom and that is exactly what is happening. No more protection, just
less freedom. Protection, my blooming arse!
