A very important point seems to be left out of this discussion: America is
at war with an enemy that has attacked us on our soil.

So what does that have to do with Iraq? They never attacked the US, and
there was never any evidence to link them with Al Queda.

During wartime, certain rules are established in order ensure our
security as much as possible.

Let's round up all Arabs and put them in camps in Colorado. After all,
you can never be too sure.

Once the war is over, those rules are lifted. If we didn't have
moslem psychopaths trying to kill as many of our citizens as
possible and we were still putting these security measures in
place, I would agree that we shouldn't be doing so. But that's
not the world we live in.

Ahh, that explains why I have to show my photo ID and boarding pass
three times just to get through the security line at Cleveland airport,
and why I have to show them to a TSA flunky in Houston just 20 feet
after I have passed through a computer check at Customs and Immigration
when I connect to a domestic flight. The process isn't out of control,
it's simply that a psychopath might cut into line ahead of me, and by
reading a name on a boarding pass and comparing it to the name on a
photo ID, he won't get away with it.
