Want some torture with your peanuts?

i'm quite sure i would never be found on a commercial airplane again...if this ever comes to pass.

the greater downside is that if this kind of imposition makes it into the air industry (i highly doubt it) it would open the door to other invasions...like having to submit when entering federal property (bibe.)  how great would that be?  that way next time someone is found to be "camping" in cattail, he could merely be immobilized until the proper authorities arrive to handle the situation.

This will put the airlines out of their misery for good. The tiny percentage of people who believe 'if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear' as they continually go along with incremental DHS encroachments on their freedom would not be enough to keep a single carrier afloat.

On the other hand, maybe this is the kind of sheer stupidity we need the mental midgets at DHS to foist in order to finally wake up the citizenry to take back their rights from an agency completely out of control.

I didn't know you had an RFID implanted in you too Presidio?  What model is yours?

This is one good reason to support the 2nd ammendment. -

Please explain...

[Undertaker]

Second amendment insures the 1st.

Second amendment insures the 1st. 

How does it do that?

It was designed to prevent citizens from becoming subjects. The right to bear arms provides protection against many things, including a tyrannical government.

I don't know about anybody else on the board, but nobody is pumping a chip in my arm or putting a shock collar or leash on me.

The first ammendment says so, and the 2nd backs it up.

Your choice, citizen or subject.

According to their spokesman, in the form of an assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Borg only want to "raise the quality of life" of the species they "assimilate."


Hmmm......... sounds like something coming out of Congress?

[Ay Chihuahua!]

I'm with you too, Badknees.  A government that would put an electronic shackle on the governed deserves a cap in its ass.

I hear you on the 1st Amendment too, but the more pertinent document would be the one that says this:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
