Oh what a conformist Hell it must be to live in a world where the severely mentally ill don't have in-home access to six semi-automatic weapons. Unpack your baggage before wading in to this one.

I never had any real interest in music, and certainly never bought any. Shortly after discovering Audiogalaxy, I was buying CDs, going to shows, and actively collecting and exploring music that I didn't even know existed. It was a revolutio

Whether the USG is a collection of well minded do-gooders, an inept bureaucracy that can't tell one hand from another, a literal collection of antichrists, or absolutely none of the above: the USG has guns.

Yes and no. They were marginally down YOY last quarter. There is a possibility that they're stalling too. Time will tell.

I for one am grievously offended. This degree of Truthspeak is a Droneable offense, and the number of priceless American jobs that would be lost with marijuana reform is an insult to the tens of thousands of Mexicans slaughtered for them.

Yes, that is essentially my view. I do not believe the TSA's current procedures are constitutional. The court system has not corrected this instance of over-reach after ten years, and the TSA's policies continue to become more restrictive,

No, this case I've cited specifically says that magnetometer wanding and a pat-down over a duration of 18 minutes in search of a suspected weapon is a constitutionally reasonable administrative search. My beef is with mandatory -custody- se

I appreciate your thoroughness. I fear I am not focusing my argument well. Administrative search at airports is legal, yes. Consent is not required or relevant, yes. Bag checks and scans are mandated by law, yes. Magnetometer searches are

Correct. My point is that SCOTUS has not said word one about these standards. "Constitutionally reasonable administrative searches" in the context of an airport are legal, per SCOTUS. Consent has nothing to do with it, that concept does not

I'm very specifically talking about custody searches, not pat-downs or "enhanced pat-downs" (an imaginary term created by the TSA's marketing team). Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, there has been no Supreme court ruling on the constitu

A quibble, because this whole fucking disgusting thing fills me with limitless rage: TSA agents do not perform 'pat-downs'. Pat-downs are very quick checks to see if any obvious weapons are being concealed on someone's body. Police will do

The masterstroke of this design is that it creates a time vortex when the windspeed reaches 88.5 miles per hour, sending it back to 1997 to crush Bill Clinton to death so that his successor ratifies the Ottawa Treaty banning landmine sales

For those just joining us, this is what's called an "obscenity" or "moral atrocity". Please keep this in mind when reading comments praising this inculcation technique.
