[quote=BallisticWookie]Heh, what exactly have you lost as far as normal everyday life goes ? Have you had to radically change your lifestyle because of this "Homeland Security" ? I doubt it very much. Stop whining about shit that doesnt even affect you.

I'm not American, but I think Bush is doing a good job. He's got balls enough to stand up to pricks like Saddam and North Korea, and not back down when they get all upset about policies and restrictions placed on them because of their own infractions. There's no-one I'd rather have in command of the global police force.[/quote:6fe47]

I can no longer carry my Swiss Army knife everywhere.

Also, while few have been affected by homeland security it does make a precedent that the government can take your rights away.
How long before people who criticize the government can be arrested as "terrorists" and held without trial?
It's not that I don't trust government...but I don't, there have been to many potentially good governments corrupted in history for anyone to trust them.
Just like gun-control, they start with one type of weapon and pretty soon BB guns are illegal.
