I find this VERY disturbing. I feel like the world I knew as a kid is being taken from me.

And this is the idiotic response that's allowing them to take away our rights. You really don't deserve to live in a "free" country with that kind of attitude.
Scruffypup saidAnd the next time someone isn't checking everyone for explosives, firearms, etc and someone opens fire at a major event, I'm guessing you'll be in line to start bitching about security not doing enough to protect those same rights!Ducky47 saidOur world as we knew was forever changed after 911.

What exactly do you want for security? You're OK with everything wide open like it was when you were a kid? It's not the same era, things are not the same. You have more freedoms here with the efforts to derail lunatics than most countries have. I would think you'd be celebrating the freedoms you have instead of complaining about those who are trying to ensure you can continue to be free.
Scruffypup saidOh and what rights are they taking? Your right to do something illegal. You have all your rights, there's nothing taken away from you. Unless you're doing something illegal, what's the problem that they are trying to prevent an issue? You didn't answer my question. What exactly do you want for security?
No one is trying to ensure our freedom! You don't ensure freedom by taking away rights. How can you be this blind?

Scruffypup saidOMG, you're so full of it. You really think they give a rats ass about your cell phone? Only if you're suspected of something that violates the law. You're as bad as the rest of the kooks that think they're tapping everyone's phones and recording everyone's conversations.alphatrigger saidTruly we are living in "interesting times", and freedom is breathing its last gasping breaths, as she lies prone on the Altar of the God of Security, having been raped by the twin giants Fear and Ignorance.
Not according to Eb925guy. The Police are extracting your cell phone data as they drive behind you for you're own protection. Just do as you're told and walk in single file. They're just protecting us...
