A thought on intrusive Government (TSA) searches
Remember all the idiots saying "Hey, I don't care if they listen in on my phone calls, I've got nothing to hide"? Well I say to them now, let them grope your balls, what the hell, you got nothing to hide. One invasion of privacy covers every person living in the country and yet it goes without public notice, but let one person in 100,000 that flies on an airplane have their balls or tits mashed and all hell breaks lose. And people wonder why I consider most people to be fucking idiots.

1. The Founding Fathers anticipated this with the 4th Amendment
They'd weep openly to see their descendants act like scared little sheep when it comes to this kind of government-sponsored abuse, wondering why they had pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for a people that would eventually accept any level of indignity for a false promise of "security".
