And a bipartisan auctioning of our birthright of essential liberties for a pottage of ‘security’

The “Patriot” Act was a travesty. And 20 years later we’re still removing our belts and shoes if and when we fly again


It was consequential because we made it so. We could have rolled with it, and treated it like we would the deaths from an accident, or an ordinary homicide, instead of treating it like a much more significant thing, which, incidentally, is just what the terrorists wanted. Of course, nowadays, the unfortunately-not-African population has taken overreacting to a whole new level...


Good point. In retrospect, maybe we should have shrugged it off more quickly.
