When you are creating a system of security that may ultimately employ body scanning technology that would require a society to rewrite its child porn laws, I think it's time to consider whether one is willing to trade certain freedoms and liberties for a tiny amount of safety or not.
I mean, who wants to create a job that will have pedophiles lining up to get a job with airport security because they can now view body scans of children, experience multiple erections throughout the course of their work day, and at the same time earn a minimum wage?
It's time to take seriously the words of congress people like Ron Paul who have said time and time again that the U.S. is "doing exactly what bin Laden planned."
It's time to say to ourselves when columnists like Glenn Greenwald, Paul Craig Roberts, Chris Hedges, Andy Worthington, and James Ridgeway provide research and detail on how the "war on terror" is brutalizing innocent civilians, turning a population of Americans into passive infantile people content with being in a state of civic adolescence, and enriching those connected with corporations tied to America's wheelings and dealings in the bipartisan and pragmatic "war on terror"---
It's time to say we will no longer go along with the perversely insane and fascistic course this nation is taking with national security.
