I'm not as interested in "security" as I am in security, and I'm not at
all interested in the BS they pose as "security" in airports. On a train so far, I've not been subjected to any kind of rights violation except for their check of ID, which is not truly necessary but which I have a harder time bitching about, though I'd like to. As far as I'm concerned, the State has no right to ID me, inspect me, violate me, or anything else. If they have that right, then they have the right to do it ALL, and in that case, they
should if they're serious about security. But they're
not, as shown by various people who get through with such, as Mal said, above.
All they're doing these days is getting us ready for a more thorough violation later.

Was he the guy who defended himself, or some psycho? I don't try to keep track of 'em.
