I wish people would realize that, when they give up the very freedoms the terrorists were against, in the name of "protection", that they've given in.

I'm not sure I completely understand your response. Are you being sarcastic about taking our civil liberties being taken from us?
We were not the ones who flew a few planes into the World Trade Center. Because of a few wacked out terrorists, we all need to be a little more cautious, a little more protective and a little more patient with the new way we have to live our lives. If you don't like it, don't get on the fucking plane! Now you can go on living the rest of your lives being bitter about the extra security at airports, bitter about your civil liberties being taken away, or you can get over it already and realize it won't change to satisfy YOUR heirarchal needs.
