Poll question: Should people be scanned or groped before entering a mall?
There are many people going to malls as fun and around now because the "gift giving" holidays are approaching. Since setting off a bomb there has the potential to kill many, disrupt commerce, heighten the recession and cause a lot of panic, as well as just being bad, should people be security checked before entering a mall?

3. not a right to fly, is the argument, or go to mall. so, courthouse. we have to go to courthouse
we do not have the right to say no, if we have to go to court. we must submit to scanners at court house. without option. without choice of just not participating.

how does the argument fly with that.

6. I know. Seems the best way to prevent most bad things is figure out the basis for it
Not just "I hate you" or "I am mentally insane" but why. Then work with that. Spend 1% of current military budget helping figure out what people want and how to get there but nooooooooooo. That won't help the War Machine, the Keeping Everyone Safe Machine, get richer.
