@jiveabillion: I think some very expensive lawyers would prove otherwise.

We're gonna need more socks!

Pass the gravy.

@tomsomething: The point is to make you nervous if you have a reason to be nervous. They profile (with questions and/or observation) the moment you drive on, the moment you walk into the airport, the moment you check-in for your ticket and lastly the screening process.

@Elhigh: Hyperbole does no one any good. What freedoms are you losing? The courts have determined that anyone attempting entry into an airport consents to a reasonable search of their person and belongings. No one is following you home and groping you up while you sleep.

$200k for a script, minus $199k for shipping and handling.

What do they have in common? They're all extinct.

I hope it rains zombies.
