Well isn't that a huge hint the authorities should take when an Islamist pressure group, in today's context, feels closer to the general public than the government ?
We all hate those laws. We hate the TSA. We hate the border control overkill checks. We hate the "give us the password" bullshit.
We hate it so much when something suspicious may be happening we automatically assume the suspect is the victim.
Somewhere down the road the gov messed up so bad it's guilty by default until proven innocent into the eye of people on HN, a group of usually pretty well educated people.
That is a red flag.
- marcosdumay 9y agoWho is "we"? Last time I traveled to the US was in 2013. The TSA were a bother, but didn't really stand out compared to US immigration checks, airline policies, being contained in an airplane for 12 hours, my country fiscal policies on return, finding taxis to go from airport to destination and everything. Yes, the TSA thing is aggravated by it being useless, but I don't expect any general population to know this.
