I think both Wal-Mart and the SS over reacted, they really need to use discretion when it comes to these things.
And in response to Stevo I don't think people mean are liberties are directly being taken away. I mean obviously it's not like one day police are telling us we don't have freedom of speech any more. People are worried that slowly are rights are being taken away, in the form of turning America into a police state.
Sure we have freedom of expression, but if you put thumb tack over a picture of a presidents head your gonna be investigated. Or things like the patriot act in which many people see powers given to the authorites which seem unconstitutional. Or how about the right to bare arms, sure you can get a gun but you gotta get a permit to own one (not really clear on gun ownership laws)
It just feels like a slippery slope, where does it stop?
