RE: Planes, trains, and automobiles

It's all about fear and control. Since planes can cover a greater distance AND are easier to control (points of entry are limited to a plane and fewer connection points) they also offer a higher profile of success. The natural fear of flying many have are exacerbated by the thought of a "terrorist" commandeering a plane and using it as a weapon against the "great satan"!

It's all about fear, if you instill false fear in people you can control them and strip away their freedoms. I have said it time and time again... we are no safer today than we were 7 years ago. All that has happened is corporations have gotten richer off of our ill placed fear and the government has gotten bigger and more intrusive in our lives. The gates to Orwell's 1984 have been opened even more, for our safety of course!

Also the "homeland security" and other tactics and "laws" enacted have been created and instituted to continue the attack against the American people by keeping the fear there with "imminent danger!"

If a Senator could march a mariachi band with an elephant across the Mexican American border... how many terrorists do you think could have gotten in with nukes, biologic or chemical weapons? Every time I fly I protest as to the un-American anti constitutional searches in airports. I protect by telling them that yes I do mind being searched without writ, warrant or probable cause in my nation of birth. In another country I don't have that Constitutional protection and say not a word but in this nation, I fought and defended (whether you agree with that or not) I do have that right. All American citizens do.

How we are treated is illegal and as un-American as fajita's. It's time we stood up and let the government know we are tired of being treated like criminals in our own nation.
