Has the alleged assassination of Bin Laden made us safer? Can we now get rid of the Patriot Act, the TSA and the massive surveillance systems and fusion centers?
And here's what 'the experts' are reportedly saying.
Now we see where this is heading - more security, more checkpoints, more pat downs, and less freedom. So, what do you think, will Americans tolerate more checkpoints and even more intrusive security or will they finally say no?

"First they searched the air travelers but I didn't speak out because I wasn't an air traveler. Then they searched the....yes, we can update this one."
Lol I'm soo going to use that.
@ Jen - That's what I think too. So what are we doing here?
@ Citizen - That's a sentiment I've seen expressed a lot lately...dark as it is.

Long before 9/11 there were searches at some rock concerts but not others, it just depended on the artist and their fans. And I've seen searches in bars in some questionable neighborhoods and these were carried out by the bouncer on the owner's instructions. It's bad publicity when there's frequent shootings in your establishment. So back then security was on an as needed basis and nobody wanted to pay for it unless it was necessary. But now they've scared the sheeple into believing there's a bogeyman hiding in every corner so they'll submit and pay for it too.
My point was really about incrementalism, you don't say anything about rock concert searches because you are not into rock concerts. Sports fans or symphony goers who never said anything before in the defense of others then blow a fuse when the same standard is applied to them though others stay silent. People who don't fly couldn't care less about the TSA,.. then it comes to their church or the mall and when they make waves everybody who is already putting up with this or that can hardly care because, well,... where were they when I was getting harassed with searches right?
If more people stuck up for well formed principles even when it doesn't effect them personally we would not be where we are let alone where we are going.
