Ron:
You can still do this today. In fact I did it last December at
Teterboro Airport just outside of NYC on a private flight to Boston.
No searching, no metal detectors, nothing. So the key is to buy your
own airplane or airline.

Dear Starchild;
While I am not the person your question was addressed to I will
give an example of the difference between "feeling safe" and "being
safe" and "being free".
The TSA is charged with security at airports to basically frisk
feel up and grope passengers inspect their bags and so on. What TSA
is doing is by their charter " making people feel safe" by their
activities. TSA is not making people "be safe". There are too many
vast holes in the TSA Security Theater. A major hole is the 400,000
airfield workers whose only check point clearance is showing an
airport badge at the access door to the airport operations and field.
Once upon a time at an airport you were free to basically walk up
to a ticket counter and buy an airline ticket to wherever and go
straight to the boarding gate. This was being free. Those days are
long gone.
Giving up freedom for feeling safe or even being safe is something
our government force fed the sheeple to use as a control measure so
sheeple would feel good towards the government because the government
was doing something. Even if the majority of the sheeple don't
realize its pure horse puckey.
Each freedom given up to be less free for being safe is another
step towards the so-called benevolent dictatorship Bush wants us to
become with him at its head.

Hi,
I'm just wondering, if feeling safe is a "right," how does that
mesh
with the right to be free? What about *feeling* free? Is that a
right
too, in your opinion? If not (i.e. if safety is being valued over
freedom), do you think the United States should henceforward be
referred to as the "land of the safe" rather than the "land of the
free?"
I realize these are provocative questions, but sometimes I
think
people talk about rights and such, and lately of course, manifest
the
huge trend of elevating safety as a priority in society, without
necessarily thinking about the implications. Your feedback on these
thoughts is welcome.
Love & liberty,
