“here are people who are trying to kill Americans” — And many of them are in Langley, Virginia, and Washington DC. I don’t at all accept the fear you try to induce. It’s an observable fact that one’s own gov’t is *always* the biggest threat to life and liberty. The gov’t acts in broad daylight, and is prepared to shoot you for going 5MPH over an arbitrary speed limit. The alleged “terrorists” — all you claim is merely what the gov’t story has put out — have thus far, by the palsied reaction of fearful little weenies, gotten the US involved in two wars against peoples who didn’t attack us, and are trying to start 3rd, 4th, and 5th fronts in Pakistan, Yemen, and Iran, to fuel the military machine.

No, I don’t want the security of a prison, or to degrade to the level of “other countries”, police states such as China or Israel. Way to prevent the small number of real terrorists — offhand I can’t recall any, the FBI always seems to be central to those exposed — is to STAY THE HELL OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S COUNTRIES, instead of spend a trillion dollars murdering upwards of a million of them. — IN FACT, it’s amazing that real terrorism ISN’T being seen here, by which I deduce that those who are being terrorized by the US military have decided not to fall into the trap of hitting back in that way, just against US military in *their* country. Against any other invader, we’d cheer those “insurgents” as “freedom fighters”, but the rabid right has so twisted the facts and opinions with their constant fear-mongering that even the lessons of Vietnam have been forgotten.

I traveled the world, and the most intrusive security in the world is the American one.

Damn did you ever got to an American embassy?
In London a child can’t open the door to enter because it has a door with bomb proof glass that is almost a yard in depth(not kidding), the first time I saw that it got me by surprise, I also forgot my cellphone at the entrance where we were told to leave it there, no electronics inside the embassy.

But you didn’t see those things right?

This is not about security is about the impression of security. They didn’t do a pat-down before because they didn’t felt it was necessary, they do it know to force people to go through a machine, but the machine is not perfect either, will they do cavity searches on people too, since terrorists can use those cavities to hide things?

Experts said they can fool the machines why are the security not listening.
