Despite the 2nd Amendment, we don't let people carry guns and grenades
on
airplanes either.

What's that got to do with Americans' right to freely move about the
country?

Are you kidding me? What they can't effectively control, they just pass
legislation against. So everybody pays a penalty by having their individual
freedoms taken away. Except, of course, those who don't care to play by the
rules.

You haven't explained how the 2nd Amendment along with the exception
disallowing guns and grenades on airplanes (and technically, those are only
disallowed on commercial flights) has anything to do with Americans' rights
to freely move about the country (and in particular, justifying restricting
that right).

Why would I be kidding you?

I guess I misread the direction of your post.

All amendments have exceptions to them, not just the second. In your
example, it is probably for the best.

I think the thing that bothers me the most about all of this TSA 'national
security' crap, it is not protecting the nation at all, just the idiots that
are running it.

I think so.

I certainly agree, if by "protect" you mean "ensure continuous employment".
