Insightful read, though I don't agree with some of it. Seems to me that some secrecy is okay but personally I feel the govt has too much power right now in terms of police action. Already we are seeing the TSA not only growing and still allowed to do their damn screenings (still not 3rd party verified safe) and intrusive pat downs, they are spreading outside the airports and into our towns and cities. The TSA IMO is one of the worst offenders of our freedom. I mean it is nothing but the biggest theater of deception and intrusion in our country right now. It's a waste of money, time, and really should be against the law. I haven't flown in ten years because I just don't want to deal with that Gestapo.
