The terrorists have won. Instead of safety, we get discriminatory policies that single out innocent people for their religion or manner of dress and prohibitions on liquids because of a nonexistent threat of a binary liquid explosive that doesn't exist outside of Die Hard: With a Vengeance.
Go ahead and make everyone x-ray their shoes and walk through a bomb-sniffing puffer -- that might find something. Pick people randomly for an extra secure search and send TSA people through from time to time to make sure everything is working like it should. I'm sick of people freaking out because Fox News has scared them into thinking that every Muslim is a terrorist. Stop letting the high school dropouts to whom we're allegedly entrusting our lives pick on people because they're afraid of "a-rabs" (I thought that was one of those slurs that had died in the '70s, but boy was I wrong.) Terrorists aren't stupid, that's why they managed to hijack 4 planes and kill a few thousand people.
