I'm all for privacy protections and private sector solutions. I think that's just a good idea in general even in the absence of government surveillance. The network is compromised, etc.

I don't think we should throw up our arms and say that it is a waste of time to try and change the way DHS and TSA conduct themselves. If we do not protect our rights we will lose them. There is nothing new here. You seem to believe that citizens of the United States have no power to influence their government. I reject this belief.




Not that we can't influence, but that we just have one lever when modern society calls for a whole control panel.

I generally agree with you. Didn't mean to come off so pessimistic. :)
