What the FBI said was that he was a communist and “labor agitator”, which we now recognize as kind of an overreaction but back then, labor organizers actually had overthrown several governments in Eastern Europe and installed socialist dictatorships, so that’s what the FBI was looking for in the US. It was actually…

Isn’t BLM just a hashtag? People have certainly promoted violence against police while using it.

A cosmetology license is 1500 hours.

The latter, I think you’ll see. The limiting resource for the thief is not the difficulty of getting into the bag (since the TSA has made all bags trivially easy to get into) but the time constraint on finding the bag that contains something worth stealing and not just somebody’s dirty panties. Indicators of security…

Is your trivial-to-defeat lock really going to make a thief look elsewhere, or will it cause the thief to home in on your bag as the one containing things so valuable the owner thought they needed to secure them with a lock?

I mean the “effort” is opening the lock with a key. Nobody should feel any “peace of mind” with a TSA-approved lock.

No TSA-approved lock is secure, since you can buy the TSA override keys for about $10, or print them yourself on a 3d printer.

So you agree with me, at least - dismissing the concerns is the answer. We’re just debating how best to dismiss them.

The number of people who believe in your example are miniscule enough that it can be metaphorically said “everyone disagrees with them” in which case I’ve already answered, they aren’t enough to affect anything in the first place.

As for concerns that you think are invalid, I dunno, try talking to people to understand what it is they’re upset about, what it is they really want in their lives, and where there is common ground with what you want the world to be like?

I’m going to assume you’re just missing the point and not trolling, but the point: what do you do with invalid concerns except ignore them?

But if their concerns are founded on fantasies and lies, and the world they’d like to see isn’t something that can exist, what else are you supposed to do? Not all concerns are reasonable, and it’s unreasonable to treat those like they are.

They should protest if their fellow legislators aren’t listening to what their constituents want

That said, those participating have been routinely shouted down (from a voting standpoint) when they’ve tried to represent their constituents by developing and passing thoughtful gun legislation.

because occupying spaces in a peaceful manner — accompanied by clear communication about the action they want taken — has long been a tactic of those denied a voice in our society.

Sit ins are a viable form of protest.

It was called a “filibuster” and the Republicans wiped their asses with it.

I’ll agree that the TSA is hamstrung at almost every point, but to argue that it’s not really necessary is ridiculous.

I mean his conduct here really does seem “disorderly”; there was an orderly plan for what people should do right there and he threw a huge monkey wrench into it.
