Re: Laptop Searches in Airports Draw Fire at Senate Hearing

As a citizen I would really like to see a cost benefit analysis of these sorts if invasive policies.

How much "safety" are we really getting from them? I suspect that the added benefit is minimal and far outweighed by the intrusion.
Bu somehow, there's never much presented other than the argument that we should be afraid of what MIGHT happen if we don't shut up and submit.

eff the govt ftw
