No real shock there. I knew that was was the original reason for the scanners at the airport. They just want to get us used to the scanners so they can eventually have them everywhere. After they tackle all forms of transportation, sporting events, movies, and so on. Anywhere the are going to be a large amount of people gathering. Its a perfect form of incrementalism.
Welcome to the "Land of the [s:2xtaw8yk]used to be[/s:2xtaw8yk] Free." You can forget about carry a gun while traveling unless you are driving, and in some state's their confiscating guns just for driving around with them.
What a great job we've done at protecting our rights. 4th amendment out of the window, and carrying while using public transportation will be gone, too.
I don't know if any of you have been watching news stations such as NBC, MSNBC, or CNN, but many of the very prominent host are saying... "We have to do this so that we can be safe, just get used to the violations of your rights, this is for everyone's safety." I mean I feel like I'm in some strange dream that I can't wake up from. All these leftist liberal times are all but begging for the government to take away our 4th amendment rights, most likely because we have a Democratic president at the helm. Could you imagine if this happened with a Republican president in office? They'd be screaming from the hills. But since Obama is president, its ok, just deal with the violations to your rights, its for your safety.
I believe most Americans will just sit back and watch as they drive this country right off the cliff.
