Airports are now hardened, and the government is now sealing the border with motion sensors and drones, camera arrays.
If you stand back and think a little, isn't this a way to totally control us, and enjoy a perpetual Police State?
If such a scheme were designed, wouldn't they convince us it's all just for security?
Hitler lied with each step he took. Wouldn't a new high-tech future dictatorship do the same?

Airport hardened? ??? I don't know... I like the idea of my mom or dad or friends coming back safely from their various trips. Soon they will be flying to Italy... In the world we live in today, I have to accept the fact that they could come back with some idiot with a bomb in his shoes and an agenda of his own. But I like the fact that MAYBE airport security might prevent such a thing.
Trouble is, we're still quite a naive country in the ways of terror. I mean, come on, less than ten years ago, NO ONE questioned a couple of nice, quiet guys who wanted to learn how to fly planes but not how to land them...
There are still checks and balances in our government system... it's why we have elections... it's why I had to endure 8 years of Clownton and why YOU had to endure 8 years of Bush. It's why no one is ever satisfied with the government they have and why it's ok for us to bash the government on websites like this.
After so many border patrol agents have been killed in the line of duty, drones and cameras make sense. Border patrol agents are Americans with families and ideals, too.
Hitler used drones? Funny. I thought they were new technology...
No, the mysterious "they" will not be able to sneak a "police state" past me, because I use my brain.

Bill of Rights
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. (Note the term "free state" not only meaning a land mass...but a state of freedom.)
Oh and did anyone ever notice when they took our real money away and replaced it with worthless fiat papers?
US Constitution
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1. No State shall…coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debt.

There are two America's...the one you know...and the one you don't want to know about.
The first one is the one you see when you get up in the morning...turn on the news....read a paper....stop at the gas station and buy something with your credit card.
The second one, is the one that sees you....
How much money you make, your credit score, every purchase you've ever made using a credit card....every e-mail you've ever sent, every phone call you've made since 2001....everytime you post on yahoo....your voter registration, your assets, family members, eductation level...the library books you checked out since the patriot act. Your terror threat score, when you purchase a plane ticket is created using this type of information.

Duh
Have you looked at our "schools" lately? They are more like prisons or fortresses. We have convinced ourselves to be afraid of everything and that zero loss will be tolerated at the expense of our basic freedoms. That is too high of a price for me.
We are in punishing 100 innocents to get one guilty mode.
Innocent until proven guilty is no longer the case.

Sure, but most of the guns in this country are in the hands of private citizens for a damn good reason!
