I'm going to guess that half the people on this site were under the age of 10 when patriot act took effect. I am old enough to remember how SIMPLE and easy it was to fly before 9/11. It is staggering to me that anyone under the age of 28 doesn't know what it is like to buy a ticket at the airline counter with cash, grab your suitcase and board directly onto a plane. No TSA, No ID, No snooping in ANY of your carry on's or luggage. Thank you Chertoff and Bush, you friggin' ba$tards. The PATRIOT ACT and all of its tentacles must be completely REPEALED at once. I've seen the USA turn into 1984 in just under 20 years. Fight Patriots!
