Get over it.


Second,
your logic is some of the worst ever posted on Usenet, so it is pretty bad.
Just because something has not happened is not an excuse to have
over-the-top, ridiculous, paranoid, government-is-always-right security
procedures.

They asked for ID. That's it. If that's over the top and ridiculous
life must really suck for you. How is that any different than your
neighbors setting up a neighborhood watch program? When you notice
something or someone out of the ordinary some action is taken. Myself
and everybody else out there have a lot invested in our toys in those
hangars and on the ramp. Plus it's a safety issue. Because someone who
was supposed to be on the ramp last month saw someone who wasn't and
called the tower a drunk guy was removed from a taxiway at midnight,
stumbling around. What if he decides to pass out on the runway and gets
run over? Sorry, we saw him but we have some idiots in society here who
think you shouldn't be asked who you are and what you're doing if you
look a little(or a lot) out of the ordinary. Too police state for them.

Newps,

Yep. The Nazis in my country called that "Blockwart". Nice concept.

Damn, and here I thought I was going to be the first.

Personally, I think neighborhood watches are creepy.

Emily,

Especially in a country with, well, lose gun laws. But let's not go
there, the thread is bad enough as it is.

Not enough guns in use by honest citizens.

What do you expect? Thomas says we have laws where we have to "lose" our
guns. ;-)

I was trying to be kind about a possible typo.

For fun, read the Dred Scott case, the Supreme Court listed
what were considered "the rights of a citizen" and then said
blacks were not citizens because they could not do those
things.

The Supreme Court is very good at dodging an issue and
newspapers are good at taking things out of context and
spinning the facts.

Fortunately, we haven't lost all of our gun laws yet. We're lost way
too many, but we can still possess firearms largely unrestricted in most
states (the safe states statistically, by the way).

Loose gun laws? I dunno. I don't own a gun because someone in my state
filed a FOIA request to get a list of all gun owners. I would not want
to own a gun knowing that anyone who wanted to could find out I own one.

But you're right, it's bad enough as it is.
