[ale] [OT] Liberties

[Sean Kilpatrick]

Ron,

The TSA provides many people (but not me) a SENSE of security.

How much actual security is open to debate.

The question is NOT "are you willing to give up some level of freedom for 
a greater SENSE of security;"

The question is "are you willing to give up some level of freedom for
more ACTUAL security?"  And what might that look like.

Sean
