I'd rather be late than dead.
YOU ARE DEAD. As an American, you are DEAD inside, to be willing to allow this to happen.
My country died yesterday.
It was replaced by a totalitarian police state where "authorities" can invade your privacy for any reason, at any time.
They can force you to open a bag on the subway. They can do a "sneak and peek" on your home. Hell, they even have X ray machines in airports now that are using a technology that essentially will show you as if you were naked.
They can do this to you because they don't like the way you look. They had a fight with their kid that morning and are in a bad mood. They don't like your T-shirt. They're a friend of your psychotic ex-boyfriend. They can see some sort of jewelry or yarmulke or something else that shows you're not a Christian. They don't like your skin tone. It can now be any reason. ANY reason.
There is no such thing as "probable cause" anymore.
You are 0wn3d. The terrorists have already won - and not all of them are Arabs.
We are no longer the land of the free. This is not freedom. And "the home of the brave"? Ya gotta be kidding me.
