I can't believe that even on HN there are so many posts about something so dumb. Our country is up in arms about some new X-ray machines that a corrupt defense contractor sold to an overzealous department of homeland security in a panic after 9/11, and yet we are hardly this angry about the 2 wars we are fighting or the fact that the New Start treaty is about to be ran over with a bulldozer.
Please, let's get over the stupid X-rays machines. Let Fox News and CNN cover this one.
- lukeqsee 16y agoI can believe it, and you know why? Because our country still cares about personal American liberty. Viva la libertad!
- zoomzoom 16y agoSometimes I get hyperbolic. What I mean to say is that these machines are a symptom of a larger problem. The time that we spend trying to get rid of these machines is time that we don't spend on solving the real problems. I love freedom, too.
