How the TSA shakes down a fully armed squad

I wonder if anybody even knows what inalienable means. The concept of inalienable rights is this. These are rights afforded us by God before the country existed and they remain ours and they are owned by us... not granted by the government... and they, therefore, cannot be taken away without due process and proper warrant.

There are no if's, and's or but's.

They are my rights... I own them... God gave them to me... and the government must go through certain specific, required and mandatory steps to even temporarily infringe upon those rights.

Yes, they are all of our inalienable rights. We can only choose to legally lay down our rights in a given situation voluntarily. When you choose to fly of your own free will and purchase tickets, you’re consenting to the policies and regulations governing the airlines. Just as a corporation has the authority to ban smoking or firearms on their campus, airlines and government has the power to require certain things of you when boarding planes belonging to the airline. It becomes a government issue when lives may be at stake.

It’s like the military… if you don’t want to surrender some of your liberties… don’t sign up. If you don’t want to be searched… don’t fly. It’s simple.

Oh, you can choose to rent a private plane service.

But TSA and all the other little minion groups formed under the "oh please... strip me of every right... I don't care... just keep my little booty safe" regime born under the smoke of two fallen towers doesn't even know what these things mean.

Over three thousand Americans died that day. Never again is our objective. And it’s harder than it looks to the peace loving passengers that have no idea what we’re protecting them from.

I am right... the government is wrong.

Really? If you only knew.

But the words of Voltaire remain intact...“It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.”

Maybe the TSA, BDO’s, FAM’s, and others should take a week’s vacation for a week and allow some local rent a cop agency to just make sure passengers board in an orderly fashion without being searched. Maybe the nightmare that would unfold will wake Americans up to the reality that we’re still at war.

I’m not saying that there have been absolutely no abuses. I’m not saying that perhaps various security agencies could do better to inform the population as to the why’s and how’s. I’m just saying that for the most part, various agencies are doing what has to be done to protect the airways.
