Obama Administration quietly expands Bush's legal defense of wiretapping program

Wrong. It's a violation of your right to not be searched by the government without probable cause and a warrant.

you aren't forced to fly.....personally, I want my government to make sure the wings are firmly attached to the airplane as well as making sure the guy next to me isn't carrying an Uzi......

It's not about whether I'm forced to fly. It's about whether I'm forced to consent to search when there is no warrant or probable cause.

And, until just after 9/11, the government wasn't running security. Did you not fly before that without worrying about Uzis?

With the new administration the problems from the former are becoming more clear. I'm with you Jeff.
