“We can conduct any kind of search we want," said McClintock. [More]And the pathetic thing is--at least for now--he's probably right.

We're the Only Ones Unrestrained Enough

I predict... a frequent rider card. Pay a large fee, pass a background check, get a TRAVEL PERMIT and evade being searched all the time. They do it for people who have to cross the Canada and Mexico borders a lot.
See the comments bleating for more police state, please. "If you get on a train with a terrorist, you'll be sorry!"
No, if I get on a train with a terrorist I want to have more options than BLEEDING ON HIM.
It appears Philadelphia wishes to be remembered by future generations as the "Deathplace of Liberty".
What? The Land Of The Free?
Whoever Told You That Is Your Enemy?

"We can bring in wands or x-ray machines in here if we want but it's not needed here AT THIS TIME". What the hell is going on in this country?
The militarization of the government over the past 5-10 years is unbelievable. In 2000, no reasonable person could have envisioned the society we'd be living in today. I shudder to think what it will be like ten more years from now.
It's only a matter of time before thugs like McClintock assert the authority to establish random searches on any "Federal transport system", in other words any highway funded via federal funds.
Essentially, the cities are lost to us.
If we freedom advocates don't stop it, one way or another.
G3Ken said..."In 2000, no reasonable person could have envisioned the society we'd be living in today."
The Rev. Donald Sensing is quoted at March of the Lemmings (the original is linked but the link is dead): "I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
Sensing appears to have written that in Dec 2003. Not quite 2000 but not far off.
Kevin wrote March of the Lemmings in Nov 2005. Well worth the time to read. Just make sure you have a while -- Kevin isn't a "sound bite" kind of guy.
People that go lookin' fer trouble are likely to find it.
