I don't fly any more. I won't give them my money for the priviledge of being treated like a head of cattle on the way to the slaughter. I don't think anyone should.
If people rebelled against this sort of nonsense, the airlines would have no choice but to seek more subsidies from the government. If the people refused to pay their taxes, the airlines would have to become profitable again by giving in to the demands of their customers. A little dignity for starters..
We are told to be more afraid of terrorists than of politicians. All politicians lie, everybody knows that. Why believe them on this then?
Fear. Pure and simple. If people are afraid enough, they'll put up with any indignity for the promise of safety. There are always groups of people who refuse to give in, but they're simply labeled terrorists and criminalized. No more problem.

Finally i found a picture of Esha wondering over her ethnicity. Do you think if she was All-American white the outcome would have played itself out differently?
