(11,464 posts)Having some extremist shoot up a movie theatre, or supermarket or hijack airplanes
means MY liberty and freedom and my right to peaceful assembly is forever gone.
Having a way to allow my liberty and freedom is what Franklin meant.
Of course,this is America, and this is a free country, and this political discussion board is
free and google searched worldwide, and we can all disagree, as we are free.
So one can't just choose to parse 1/2 a Franklin quote, without applying all of them as I have done.
A few second delay at the airport is a small price to pay and everyone going on a plane knows it, so if one doesn't want to, there is no constitutional right to go on a plane at all.
Personally, I wish we had the great security Mossad has at the Israeli airport. Generally considered the best in the world now. 9-11 would never have happened the way it did
on El-Al.
