> Show me an attack that's happened in the last 10 years.
After September 11, I personally wrote a letter to the Middle East telling them to knock it off. You're welcome.
Or, in more words: "No attacks have occurred" is not sufficient evidence for the efficacy of TSA and co. A similar argument can, after all, be made for the efficacy of any other absurd measure—and unlike my angry letter, the TSA, as well as its equivalents in other countries (some of which HAVE had attacks) has been repeatedly demonstrated to be incompetent and ineffective.
> I feel like you are on the side of the terrorists.
Calling anybody who questions political power-grabbing a terrorist is absurd. Details of this particular instance aside, we should always be able to question and scrutinize this sort of action. If not, then there will be very little left of democracy.
