I completely agree that all of the TSA actions are over-reaction and a true threat to our liberty and privacy. And I'm not convinced that we have really made any difference in the terrorism threat. They just find another way. The terrorists win when they have drastically changed our lives and we live in terror. TSA is also a government bureaucracy that is very inefficient and often incompetent.
I understand why we had to 'do something' to make people feel safer and to make it harder to hijack planes, but the government has taken our fear and continually pushed for more controls and invasions to our privacy.
And I'm very concerned with the increasing authoritarianism in the government.
Thanks for this post.
