I don’t know if you have noticed, but Americans are slowly, and passively, giving up their liberties for alleged “securities.”
Ben Franklin said:
“Who drops a liberty to gain a security will lose both.”
How is being searched and seized without a warrant constitutional? I’m beginning to feel Big Brother on my back, and I am going to have to side with Ben Franklin. Our liberty and security have become synonymous — what happens when security is so tight we won’t even be able to move freely in our own country?
What the forefathers said and intended in the Constitution has been thrown out the window.
And why do TSA Agents and police have such power without anybody raising their voice in protest (most notably our politicians who have been elected and have sworn to defend the liberties granted in our Constitution)?
