"New TSA procedures keep us safe."
Every time someone on the TV news says that, I think of sheeple waving the flag to the "God Bless the USA" song.

Wonder why that is..?

9. If this is about security but you turn them off
to avoid the political point, then what was it, Wednesday is terror free day?

2. I think of a flock of sheep, moving along nicely
Unfortunately, only a few of us frogs are willing to jump out of the pot of about-to-be-boiled water. The clueless majority just thinks that it's a hot tub.

15. Interesting analogy.
In France such a protest would hardly be a lame whisper in the wind. When they are pissed, they really let their government know it. Here, we just hope someone else does it so we can catch them later on the 6:00 news.

5. Truth always usurps propaganda in the end
We the people have faced a >10 year war where a few "elites" have profited and have done very well because there is gold in them thar hills of defending terrorism, all the while the USA has lost much and others have lost more either in family or lives.

The WOT is about money and keeping the game going and has little to do with what our controlled media might try and tell us.

7. Yeah, and
"It's not the time or place to be protesting. "

It's not safe to be protesting, one may guess?

12. We're told we need scanners because of the underwear bomber.
But didn't we foil the underwear bomber plot without having scanners?

14. Quit Thinking
Great point, but only if you are trapped into that silly notion that thinking is somehow good. :sarcasm:
