As for the effects of wearing the button go, you have slightly more of a

I also more like the latter part of the article where he discusses what
would be appropriate for a button.

However, IMHO Gilmore has the better point. There's no "free speech"
defense for saying you have a bomb, but clearly by at least one valid
interpretation of the government's actions, we are all suspected terrorists.

.... unless proven innocent. Is this the way the system works?
