I hate when people spout this quote off in the context of the present. al-Qaida wasn't flying airplanes into buildings when Franklin said it. The world is a different place and requires different methods to guarantee security. If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem? If I have to show up 2 hours early for a flight and let them X-ray my shoes so they can be certain I don't have a bomb, then I'm happily going to let them because I know I don't. And dammit, they're going to do the same to you because I want to make sure you don't have one either.
