Reply #10: If enough people find the new proceedures objectionable ...

[spin]

why not form an organization to boycott flying until the procedures change?

If enough people simply refuse to buy tickets, the airlines will see a large decrease in people flying and will pressure the government to relax the new requirements.

If we don't start to stand up, sooner or later we will live in a society that resembles the old Soviet Union. Homeland Security will be the equivalent of the KGB. The terrorists will have won as we will have no freedom or privacy and our nation will no longer serve as an example of a "shining light on a hill". Our lives will be almost as hopeless and limited as lives in the nations where the terrorists originate and people in those nations will no longer look at us in envy.
