From today's USA Today
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-01-08-security_x.htm
The actual printed version of the story (at least in the ATL market) had a
picture of a Brazilian immigration official subjecting a US visitor to the same
indignities we apparently are submitting visitors from Brazil to... that pic
isn't in the online version, at least not as of this posting.
From the article ... the US administration is "using fear about the possibility
of an attack as a substitute for diplomacy". My original post was trying to
highlight how the TSA and its lackeys are using fear as a mechanism to trample
all over common sense and freedom.
Revise "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" to "the only thing we
have to fear is a government official using fear to trample something".
Not as catchy but true.
