SKL - put a lot together in this thread!
So let's see - Is security theater a realistic possibility? Yes, I think so... (brought that up myself in other threads) Is the act of seeking to implement population submission a realistic possibility? Yes, I think so... (the Govt. would like us all to do as they wish, when they wish, it would be very easy to "Lead" us then) and Is the idea of "never letting an opportunity go to waste" a realistic concept? Yes... (we've been shown time and again how those who anticipate, plan and who are ready at the right time, will capitalize on opportunity) but is it realistic to accept that all the pieces have been "pre-planned and are orchestrated with a pre-planned end-goal?" It's possible, but how probable is it that if true, would actually work out the way the plan was laid out?

Wow. There is a lot of fear and fearmongering in this topic. Casting fear of government in the minds of conspiracy theorists so they oppose government enforced security and support their own security to protect themselves from the government which then causes them to take away their own liberties by themselves.

It's so refreshing to see such a high quality thread.
Where will this preposterous nonsense end, or will it? Five year old children taking their shoes off, and preparing for the search? Their own employees? How long we will let them perpetrate these crimes against our privacy? We've become too dependent on air flight to ban it, and yet acquiesce will inevitably lead to another invasive implementation.
With every pat-down, the terrorists win. There's got to be a better way.
