Here's a question: Does Tony Blair get to bring his laptop on his government plane? Can Laura Bush keep her lipstick with her on Air Force One? Does Dick Cheney take off his shoes and get them x-rayed before he flies? How about Condi Rice's knee-high lace-up boots? Is her mission to Israel delayed while she tries to re-lace them while balancing her laptop bag on one shoulder and trying to get her watch back on?
It seems to me like our glorious leaders are pretty good at setting out the "minor inconveniences" that the rest of us have to put up with, but when was the last time you heard of any of them enduring the same measures?
Now, GW Bush may say, "But I'm no terrorist! Why shouldn't I be able to bring my hip-flask onto Air Force One with me?" But I'm no terrorist either. I don't see why the man should be exempt from his own rules. If it's sauce for the goose, it's sauce for the butcher.
These people tell us that these are the necessary austerity measures in the extraordinary times. If FDR told us to fast on Wednesdays and turn our furnaces off on Fridays to help the war effort, I’d expect him to do the same, even if he had a bunker full of canned goods and his own private free energy heater. As far as I can tell, 100 percent of the "security measures" to "fight terrorism" apply to 0 percent of the people who makes those decisions.

I can only comment on your last sentence even though I agree with you completely.
The government has always been exempt from the laws of the land. Another example is Pres. Bush's nephiew.. Gov. Bush of Fl. son was caught in a mall parking lot messin around with an underaged girl. If you or I do that we are prosicuted and labled a child molester and forced to register the rest of our lives. Yet Bush signed legislation recently to make the registries national and everyone with a victim under 18 labled a preditor. This law obviously does not allpy to his family members does it?

These security measures only apply to commercial flights. If you're able to buy a Cessna or a 747 and hire a pilot and fly it somewhere, there's no security or restrictions on what you can bring. You walk on the plane and tell them what to do ... you're paying the bill.

Of course. The ruling only apply to those on public airplanes. You can do what you want on a private plane.
Nice plagiarism
