This trend has got to stop and be reversed.

I'm not going to live in some Soviet style Amerika.


Citizens who have done no more than criticize the president are being banned from airline flights, harassed at airports’, strip searched, roughed up and even imprisoned, feminist author and political activist Naomi Wolf reports in her new book, “The End of America.”(Chelsea Green Publishing)

“Making it more difficult for people out of favor with the state to travel back and forth across borders is a classic part of the fascist playbook,” Wolf says. She noticed starting in 2002 that “almost every time I sought to board a domestic airline flight, I was called aside by the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) and given a more thorough search.”

During one preboarding search, a TSA agent told her “You’re on the list” and Wolf learned it is not a list of suspected terrorists but of journalists, academics, activists, and politicians “who have criticized the White House.”

Got. To. Stop.

exactly why airport security should be up to the airport and airlines, not the federal government.

You've been detained?



Oh, and at least perhaps they will pay.

The other articles by Nat Hentoff are equally good.

And the title of the article says Bush is doing this, but obviously Bush is not. He is an idiot, I mean borderline retarded.
