[QUOTE="WTF, post: 4933999, member: 29178"] You're taking only one aspect of that example and running with it. Privately owned yes. Follow their rules yes. But when people are being selectively chosen based on race, skin color, gender, etc for full cavity searches or interrogations while others (seemingly unlikely terrorist) walk through without question, rights are being violated. Also the "privately owned" argument doesn't carry alot of weight when airports that host them are city, state or government owned and are using the police. Again, air transportation is only one example. Our rights are diminishing more and more as we grow fearful. 10 years from now, things that you and I would consider absolutely unacceptable maybe the acceptable norm. Let me just throw this out there: Let's say for example, the idea of regulating yours and everyone else’s' driving habits. The government decides to mandate the installation of GPS units on ALL registered vehicles on the road to regulate your cooperation to the traffic laws. They could make it automated to where if you exceed 70mph, you’re automatically sent a fine by mail. This would effectively reduce excessive speeding and provide more income for the government. And why not, the sell is, it's only collecting money from "law breakers" anyways. Unacceptable right? That's only because you haven't warmed up to it yet. Maybe we need a politician to show how many deaths are caused by speeding. It's a "privilege to drive" they say. Makes for a great argument to add unlimited restrictions. Never mind everyone and their frigin' mother DEPENDS on it to make an income and daily life necessities. Again, only one example. It's only a matter of time. We grow to accept more and more freedom losses in all aspects of our lives. All hail to big brother. :rockon: [/QUOTE]
