Actually, Anonymous, your views are more in line with those of the communist regimes, who exercise higher levels of control over their citizen's lives. Maybe you shouldn't resort to childish name-calling, especially if you can't even use a proper insult. Did anyone else notice that as soon as Anonymous started having a hard time responding to statements, he started throwing insults like "communist pig" and "narrow minded." Grow up.

I did enjoy how you simply dodged a point made earlier. Please, give me an example of a non-voluntary ("compulsory") form of travel. I don't *have* to ever leave my house; I could telecommute and order food, clothing and other goods off the internet. Therefore, to use your logic, me walking down the street to a store is a form of voluntary travel, and as such makes me eligible to random search by a governmental authority.

I'm not saying that I disapprove of metal detectors, or x-ray screening screening of carryon baggage, but I think we may be taking things too far by opening and searching every single bag that comes through an airport (we have pretty much proven there are no "random" searches). There can be no guarantee of safety in life; living is risky. The most secure life will also be the most empty life.
