Granted, there are more pressing civil rights violations going on in the U.S., but it's these little things that gradually chip away at our sense of freedom until we get used to it and don't notice how that freedom has been eroded. What kind of privacy violation is important enough to care about? I'm not saying we ought to stage sit-ins in front of Best Buy, but I'll certainly either casually refuse a search, or vote with my feet and my pocketbook and take my business somewhere else.

I love the juxtaposition of headlines:
"Iraqis Vote in Large Numbers Despite Death Threats and Terror Attacks"
"Americans Throwing Hissy Fits and Taking Courageous Stand Against Retail Stores"
