Big Brother, or in this case Big Sis, is alive and well. Not only that, but they're prospering. The TSA and the Department of Homeland Security are the very epitome of government overreach. The move towards a police state that began under Bush's Patriot Act is in full bloom under Obama.
The last thing I would consider myself to be is an ACLU supporter. On this issue though, they are right. The government has gone to far and without any belief that things will be better. Just when did any of us vote to surrender our rights just to fly on commerical airliners? I know I didn't.
It's time for our government to wise up and realize a one size fits all approach to airport security is wrong and unreasonable. Political correctness has lead to this overreach and it's time to understand that profiling is the right approach. It's not white Catholics who are trying to blow up planes, but we have seen black Muslims trying to do so.
I urge everyone to contact their representatives and urge change. The fourth amendment is not thrown overboard when you buy an airline ticket.
