We are aware of who they are, the enemy. I think when we fly we keep each other safe. It's our lives after all. And fight we will against the enemy. We the people are Americans after all, when empowered with knowledge can protect ourselves.
State, local lawmakers seek alternatives to TSA airport screenings in Colorado.
Similar discussions are under way in Dallas and in Orlando, Fla., as local officials attempt to gain a measure of control over the safety-screening process. The TSA's decision to intensify its airport screenings in early November has passengers balking about having their rights violated in the name of security.
"We have turned TSA screeners at our airports into Peeping Toms for no legitimate reason," Mr. Greenfield told the New York Daily News. "This practice must be stopped."
In New York, council member David Greenfield, a Democrat, introduced a proposal to prohibit the TSA from using the Advanced Imaging Technology body scanners anywhere in New York, including airports.
Administration officials say the tighter measures are necessary to keep airlines safe from terrorist attacks, but critics argue that the procedures amount to government groping and may violate the Fourth Amendment's ban on unreasonable search and seizure.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
