Can I just say that I find it pretty fuckin shameful that we're freaking out over airport scans when the government has kidnapped, imprisoned, tortured, and killed tons of people with the same national security justification? Activities which are basically supported by a majority of Americans, at that.
It's not surprising at all that people are a lot more upset about inconveniences to themselves (or to people they identify with) than they are about atrocities committed against others. But it still pisses me off.
