Message: [QUOTE="KXaggerator, post: 176133, member: 21679"] Ivan, The bus incident you spoke of is a good example of one of my biggest fears since this all happened. I am saddened by how Americans are so willing to role on their backs and play dead in the name of security in all this aftermath. Right now it is such a dangerous time for civil liberties. If a person did have a bomb, why would they call the police and why would they not just blow up the bus. That sounds like an over reaction to the situation. Every time that I see a citizen at a traffic stop submit to a unwarranted search of their vehicle because 'they have nothing to hide' I cringe. If you have nothing to hide they should not be checking your vehicle, it is an erosion of Constitutional freedoms. I have never been asked to be allowed to search my vehicle, but when and if I am I will refuse, even if I am in a hurry. I do think airports are a legitimate place for limited freedoms, as the need for increased security is required for air travel to properly function. We all know that this is the conditions before we enter the airport; flying is not a protected right. I am so sick of bomb threats, I think it needs to be an even larger felony in which you would be deemed a terrorist. We need a public campaign on this to help eradicate it. [/QUOTE]
